Hard Target — Marquita Valentine

Ten years ago, Benjamin Romanov left behind a world of violence and intrigue. Now he's living the dream as the chief technology officer at PharmGen, the world's largest provider of vaccinations. The perks are amazing -- a luxury penthouse, fast car, and his pick of women. The only downside to his job is reporting employees for less than scrupulous e-mail practices, but when he is forced to confront an employee in the lab, he ends up preventing a security guard from killing an innocent woman.



Receptionist Morgan Tanner never meant to get caught in the crosshairs of a deal gone wrong. All she wanted was one night of excitement with the sexy and elusive Benjamin Romanov. But now they're on the run, and Benjamin thinks she has something to do with why everyone wants to kill them. Only she has no idea what's going on at all -- she was only in the lab to deliver a time-sensitive package.



With time running out, Benjamin must find a way to protect an innocent woman while keeping his distance… and expose PharmGen to the world before the deadly virus is unleashed.
