I want her dead, but for a woman like her there is a far worse fate: She may hate me. She will still be mine. I awoke in hell. I don’t know who I was before, or where I came from. If I ever knew anything but darkness and pain. What I am now is a machine. A weapon, whose every breath is controlled by the technology fused with my very DNA. Bound in eternal servitude. She did this. Doctor Adelaide Thompson made me into the perfect soldier. A protector, incapable of doing her harm. But all I fantasize about is my hands around her throat. Her soft, pink lips gasping for air, and the drum of her pulse under my palms. I hate her. I want her. And I am the only one who can save her life. She won’t like the price… NB: This is part 1 of Nora’s Protector serial. Previously published in the Ruled by the Alpha anthology.

I created him. Put him back together when he was nothing but ripped muscle and snapped bones. I made him stronger. Faster. Lethal. I molded him into a weapon. And for three years, I controlled his every breath. He hates me for it. I hate him, too. When I was weak and desperate and thought I would die, he was the one who came for me. He claimed my freedom to save my life, and I am no longer the one in control. Now, he is my unwilling protector, and I… I am his unwilling mate. NB: This is part 2 of Nora’s Protector serial.

I had it so wrong. For three years I had him on his knees, subjugated to my will. All that lethal power mine to command. I thought him tamed. I didn’t know the man who played my captive all those years. I didn’t know what he was truly capable of. Now I’m the one subjugated, dependent on his protection. Hate me as he might, I know he’ll keep me safe. But the price? My heart. This is the 3rd and final of Nora’s Protector serial. Make sure you read part 1 - Rage - first.
