IMOGENE NIX ( Cont .) WHEN EVIL COMES TO STAY
BLURB
When things are at their lowest ebb , chances are it ’ s going to get worse .
For Erin McNally that includes working alongside David Villede . He ’ s the one man she wants and can never have . Too much separates them — position , money , and power are just the beginning .
For David , Erin is the woman he dreams of and burns for . After she ’ s hurt in a horrible incident , his protective instincts kick into overdrive .
But the times are dangerous — the genetically engineered warrior kids are growing in power , there ’ s someone in the camp they trust who ’ s betraying them , and the tide of public acceptance could just as easily turn against them as in their direction .

“ I know , David . You were hurting and lashed out .” Jonah patted his shoulder awkwardly , but David threw him off .

Maylin continued working on the system while Sevres and Fairburn started contacting anyone they knew in the general vicinity .
Senna beeped them . “ I ’ ve got them all out , except Gantry . She refuses to leave . There ’ s a disturbance in the bottom of the building though . I think ...” Her words died away , and his gut shifted .
