BLURB:

Dr. Micco Hagan has been charged with pairing up the last of Earth’s survivors based on genetics for optimal survival of the species. He can’t resist the opportunity to be with his dream girl, Rena Gates. Though she rejected him before the Earth ended, he hopes now she’ll find a soft spot for him.

In the time before, Rena thought Micco had only come on to her to win a bet. She never expected them to be rescued together, or to be eventually partnered. Unable to resist following orders, she discovers they have a lot more going for them than DNA matching. The sex is explosive, but can it eventually grow into love?

Rating: Contains graphic sexual content, adult language, and violence.

 

EXCERPT

I wouldn’t sleep with you if you were the last man on Earth.

“Damn it!” She threw the paper at the metal wall of her bunk and growled. A few of her roommates glanced at her and laughed.

“Who’d you get? Sam the man with a plan?” Darcy chuckled, tossing her red curls as she crossed over to pick up the paper. Like everyone, she wore a t-shirt and loose cotton pants. Today she went for a combination of black and green. Of course, black and green were their only options. She uncrumpled the letter. “Holy crap!”

“What?” Ginger and Lucy asked in unison.

“Hagan! You get to sleep with dark, sexy, descended-from-warrior-gods Hagan!” Darcy exclaimed, inciting a round of jealous gasps and semi-hateful glares in Rena’s direction. “Every woman I know has tried to get into his pants.”

“Seriously, if you don’t want him, I’ll trade you,” Lucy said. “I got some mechanic from the underside. I barely know him except that we’ve had mandatory gym time together like twice and I think he had brown hair.”

The room full of military cots seemed to close in on her more than usual. The city felt like the inside of a submarine, but was more spherical in design and stacked five levels tall.

“I got a fisherman from the pit,” Ginger added. The pit was the pressurized room in the bottom center of the city used to catch their meat supply. “He’s cute enough but can you imagine what he’s going to smell like at the end of a shift? Rena, girl, you got the freakin’ jackpot. Hagan is smart. Sexy.”

“Sexy,” Lucy repeated.

Freakin’ hot,” Ginger said.

“Seriously, I want to trade,” Lucy insisted.

“You can’t trade. It’s all genetic matching,” Darcy stated, ruining the catlike smile that had begun to form on Lucy’s mouth. “Apparently, I’m genetically matched to that strange guy who talks to himself. You know, the one they’re always asking to leave the mechanics area because he takes supplies without authorization.”

“Do you mean Dr. Van—Dr. Von…?” Lucy asked.

Von Sibenthal,” Darcy said.

“He’s not, ah, all that, um, bad,” Lucy said, trying to sound positive.

Rena pushed up and headed toward the door. “I’m going for a run before my shift.”

“You just got back from a run,” Darcy called behind her.

Rena ignored her.

I wouldn’t sleep with you if you were the last man on Earth.

* * * * *

I wouldn’t sleep with you if you were the last man on Earth, Dr. Hagan!

Micco took a deep breath, not for the first time wondering if he’d made a mistake. The words still stung, even after everything that had happened. Whatever it was that put them on the same life rescue list, he couldn’t help but think that maybe, just possibly, it was fate. Even now, even years after her rejection, he wanted her as badly as he had that night in Houston.

Rena had been so soft and sweet-looking back then with the deep brown eyes that made a man melt a little on the inside, and medium brown locks bleached by the sun to create blonde streaks. Now, after the health mandate, her body had hardened with toned muscles from her workouts, and the sunlight had faded from her hair to leave it a lush flow of darker waves. Like everyone on the base, there was a strain to her gaze, an aging that came from surviving so much tragedy.

He’d tried to talk to her, but she avoided him when she could, ignored him when he managed to get into the same room with her, and always looked at him as if she didn’t remember. Oh, but he knew she remembered him. Once, five months ago, in an isolated corridor, he’d run into her. He hadn’t been planning it, as he paced through the halls to get away from his roommates to think. The whole future matchmaking scheme had just been placed on his shoulders and he needed some time alone to process the full impact of what he was being asked to do. Not only did he have to marry people who potentially would not like to be married, he also had to reassign their living arrangements. As one of the head scientists on the base, he was to have one of the larger quarters for himself and his new bride—which wasn’t saying much since it only afforded about two more square feet on each side.

“You,” she’d said to him when he almost ran her down.

“Me?” he’d asked, trying to be playful and bring one of her smiles to her full lips.

In that moment, as she glared at him, he knew she remembered. He’d been an ass. He knew it. She knew it. Hell, the whole bar had known it. If he could take it back, he would. But none of that mattered now. Nothing from those days mattered now.

Mumbling, he returned his attention to the holographic screen floating above his desk and tried not to feel the fact that his cock was hard—again—from thinking about Rena. “Well, you might not sleep with me if I was the last man on Earth, but let’s see if you sleep with me as your last option on Atlantis.”
