Exception to the Rules. Hunter & Hunted, #2

Kimmer Reed is done running. As a teen, she fled her abusive home-a survivor on her own terms-and swore never to return. But that was a lifetime ago. As a Hunter Agency operative, she's no longer a victim. She's a protector. Now she's gone undercover to protect the vulnerable genius who scrambles to fix a vital national security flaw. The mission means not only hiding from the bad guys and the ex-CIA field officer who's serving as an unofficial bodyguard, it means working in an area she never wanted to see again. And it means that Kimmer, code named Chimera, must dig through her undercover identities and figure out who she really is.
Because the only way she can save the present is to finally, truly, face her past. But this time, the bad guys had better put on their running shoes."Imagine the pace of the TV show Alias, the smart, emotional whammy of Buffy, and characters you care about every minute."--Julie Czerneda, Aurora-winning Author of the Night's Edge series
