Hunting Grounds

To protect the innocent she’ll break all the rules—even if it means teaming up with the enemy.

Loria Penn has always followed orders, even when they chafed. But when her superiors at the Network order her to abandon a missing boy, it’s a hard pass. The boy is a liability, infected with a mutant strain of the immortality parasite, but that’s no excuse for the Network’s inaction. To find the boy, and the rogue Immortal who took him, Loria must partner with Simon, an outcast from the Network and member of a rival organization.

Simon King wants nothing to do with the Network and nothing to do with Loria. Not only is the Network a painful reminder of past mistakes, but Loria betrayed his trust by stealing the boy and the rogue right out from under him. She’s ruthless and dangerous, and he can never forget she’s the enemy. So why can’t he get her out of his mind?

Loria and Simon must navigate divided loyalties and a growing attraction to combat the greater threat—the rogue Immortal and his experiments with the boy’s mutant parasite. Can they overcome past wounds to save the boy—and each other—or will the rogue Immortal destroy them all?
