What if the person you trusted the most suddenly became a stranger, who desperately wanted you dead? And if an hour later, they were back to normal? 

Detective Jack Arnette was a respected cop, before a hostage situation went horribly wrong. Victor Slade is a meditating, hedonistic cop-killer. When Victor makes a pickup at the Seattle docks, Jack sees a chance for redemption. A simple arrest. Respect regained. 

But events spin out of control when Jack and Victor are quarantined with the dock workers and a virus that can make anyone go temporarily homicidal. 

Trapped by a SWAT team with orders to shoot anyone who leaves the building, Jack must deal with a cop-killer who has little to lose, and a group of innocents who could become just as dangerous. Who would you trust when anyone could become a killer?All Rights Reserved

So, she resists being attracted to a brain-damaged patient with the body of Adonis and the mind of a child. Agent Frank Stone, of Homeland Security, forces the doctor to take John Doe into her own home while he recovers. Stone, who knows John Doe's past history well, says it's not safe to send him back to the place he lived before he was "killed" by his enemies. If it ever becomes known that John survives, his foes will make sure he doesn't live long. Mitchell tries to protect her heart while she protects the innocent John from a hostile world. As they live together, the two begin to teach one another how to live. Hopefully, they'll also learn how not to die -- because they'll soon be betrayed into the hands of murderers.

Tempest by robbigee

Dr Tempest Kincaid left the Compound she'd grown up in on the North Coast of New South Wales, looking for a life of her own. She walked away from a life that had brought her nothing but anger and pain. Her mother though not a submissive, was totally subservient to her father. Tempest wasn't, but held her tongue to protect her mother. This situation giving him far too much power over both of them. Now Tempest is a well-respected Doctor working in forensic for the New South Wales Coroner based in Sydney. She has a life of her own, a small group of friends and if she's sometimes a little lonely, it's a small price to pay for what she's achieved. Wade Benning is the local Alpha, contacted by Dr Kincaid to inform him of the death of one of his Pack-mates. The fact that she's human is surprising, but that this woman has the strength to stand toe-to-toe with him, not only aggravates him, it peaks his interest. Add a somewhat protective Detective Jaxson Gregory to the mix, a curious boss and a Rogue doing his best to create himself a mate, not to mention a Pack full of Were's wanting their Alpha to settle down with a mate and it's likely to be an interesting read. For those of you wanting this to be Jaz's story, relax this story is likely to lead us right into it. Enjoy!
