Love, Lattes and Danger — Sandra Cox

The downsides are life as a closely monitored slave -- and that he can't be with Piper, the dolph-girl he loves…
To make matters worse, Joel discovers the lab he grew up in has extracted his sperm and Piper's egg and created a baby, and his handler, Craven, is plotting to kidnap Amy for more experiments. Now Joel must rescue the infant, bring her to Piper, and find a way to save Amy. And if that's not enough of a challenge, he needs to convince Piper she belongs with him instead of her all-too-human boyfriend -- if Craven doesn't get to them first…
