S omeone was in his lab.

It was obvious as James stepped through the portal into his private domain, a sea of silver and glass, even though no one was immediately evident.

The door had been locked, but the security system was disabled, and something seemed…

off. There was a scent, like the wildflowers that grew on a cliff by the ocean’s edge.

It tantalized and taunted, drawing him in like a siren’s song.

What was he thinking? If someone was here, it was no siren, but an intruder, likely with designs on the grand prize that already boded a viral Internet sensation.

The wind machine would be a unicorn to any reporter or influencer, but if they attempted to dissect it, they could damage his entire investigation.

There should have been a dozen guards protecting it, yet in the confusion of the incident, everyone assumed someone else would do it, leaving it alone for vulnerable seconds.

Still, the locked door and security system should have been enough. They were state of the art, requiring far more than a college kid with a screwdriver and youthful determination. Which meant, whoever broke in was far more substantial.

Could it be the culprit?

He tempered his movements as excitement tightened muscles and urged action.

The wind machine interested him, yet the culprit held far more appeal.

No doubt that machine had been homemade.

What sort of mind could craft something like that?

How, where and why? James would uncover every detail of the culprit’s life, demanding answers to every question and each mystery.

By the time he was done, no secrets would remain.

He glanced around his lab, yet nothing appeared different.

Every beaker and folder was in its place.

Like his life, he kept meticulous order, and any deviance would be obvious.

He turned carefully, yet no physical evidence remained, even as senses and instincts warned of the intrusion.

A slight sound, a rustled footstep, had him jerking toward the back room.

Senses sharpened, eliciting the thrill of triumph.

There was only one place the intruder could be hiding, a room with no doors, windows or exit .

With a predatory smile, James turned to the door. This was his lab, his research and his mission.

The person who infiltrated it would answer for their crimes.

With fierce intelligence and uncompromising authority, world-renowned biological researcher James Blackburn leads scientists to discoveries that expose the very secrets of the universe.

With no choice but to infiltrate James' investigation and derail his mission, Kyla fights to prove the supernatural lives only in dreams and fairy-tales, all the while resisting the inexplicable attraction that grows every day.

Only James sets his sights on more than the mysteries of science.

As the masterful scientist grows closer and closer to her greatest secret, exposure threatens all.

What will James do when he discovers the truth?
