The message was explicit - no other man would do but the viral warrior.  Determined that Brace must join her quest, Marissa rescued him from unjust imprisonment, then nursed him back to strength, never telling him the arrogant male that he was just a pawn to exchange for her sister's freedom.  But during the long, cold nights Marissa found herself irresistibly drawn to his hard warrior's body, and as the danger-filled days flew by she knew her desperate mission was doomed to failure.  For how could she save her sister by destroying the one man she could ever love?
