The most epic failure of her scientific career? She fell in love with the cyborg she helped create. Keira Winters never wanted her discoveries in the field of cybernetics to be used for evil, but that is exactly what happened. Now returning Peyton's humanity to 313 is her last chance to atone. She can't bring back the lost decade, but she can change the present by restoring the cyborg who was once Marine Captain Peyton Elliott. Of course, her grand plan to right her wrongs didn't include madly kissing a confused, passionate Marine. The same scientific mind that had developed the cyborg creator code was now warning her not to let Peyton's tempting offers of bliss cloud her rational decisions. And yet it's hard to resist the cyborg she restores because he's also the most intriguing man she's ever known.
