The Kinetic Heart

The perfect machine doesn't feel. It only functions.

Maxine "Max" was a woman built for the grease and grit of the Great War, a mechanic who could fix a jammed rifle in a muddy trench without blinking. But when a nomad vampire decides to "upgrade" her in the ruins of 1918 France, Max becomes something far more dangerous: a living weapon of invisible force. For decades, she has wandered as a ghost of the battlefield, viewing herself as nothing more than a calibrated engine of destruction.

Then she meets Rosalie Hale.

In an instant, the machine breaks. Driven by an instinctual, all-consuming mate bond, Max trades the blood of the trenches for the "vegetarian" life of the Cullen coven-not out of a sudden moral awakening, but out of total devotion to the woman who fixed her broken soul.

From the high school hallways of Forks to the snowy battlefields of the Volturi, Max remains the silent enforcer in the shadows. But as a new war looms, Max must decide if she is just a weapon to be pointed, or if the heart beneath her cold, mechanical exterior is finally human enough to love.
