Biological Imperative - Aleka Chronicles, #3 - E-book - ePub

Ursula Hofwyn is a botanist more comfortable around plants than people. So nothing makes her happier than to be in the middle of the woods collecting samples. As a bonus, Ursula's current assignment has taken her into the vicinity of the most intriguing man she has ever met. But all is not well on the mountain. Predators are stalking her -- predators who want to discover just how different she is. Royce Stockard is content hibernating on his mountain away from the stares and judgment of others.
Never mind he's alone and lonely. The only woman to truly pique his interest is the one woman who should be off-limits. Yet, when he finds her on his mountain within his territory, all bets are off. But others are hunting for her, and Royce will have to choose what's more important -- maintaining his lonely existence to keep a secret or saving the woman he loves.
