Part of the Sterling Files series. Eva. A Hebrew form of Eve, the first woman. But Eva is not the first woman. Nor does it appear she’s the last… Born from the mind of a demented genius, Eva was created for a purpose. Preternaturally strong, possessed of myriad gifts, Eva’s secrets continue to elude the Sterling scientists, her mysteries as dark as the Stygian pools of her eyes. She responds to only one—a Sterling soldier; a man whose power and darkness match her own…a man with whom she shares more than she knows. One of Sterling’s most powerful warriors, Dante also boasts many gifts—gifts that were thrust upon him. He brought swift justice to those who made him what he is, all save one—the same brilliant mind responsible for his unexpected obsession. Dante’s passion for Eva is tortuous. Her beautiful face haunts his dreams, a nightly visit he would gladly welcome…were her face not so like his enemy’s. Publisher’s Note: Published in print in the Forbidden Fantasies anthology.
