The Last Stall on Glory Lane

Once a celebrated geneticist, Dr. Anya Sharma's career lies in ruins. Haunted by a lab fire and whispers of hubris, she takes a job in the one place that won't ask questions: Progenitus Prime, a top-secret facility where myth and science breed for the highest bidder. Her assignment: Stall 13. The specimen: a Minotaur whose prize genetics are worth millions. But Tauros is more than a simple asset. He is a scarred, savage beast who has injured his previous handlers, a creature who refuses to cooperate.
Anya is told not to expect to last. This is not just a job-it's a trap. But inside the stall, Anya discovers a secret hidden beneath the beast's rage. This is no monster, but a prisoner haunted by a lifetime of pain. His wounds tell a story she can't ignore, and his scent-a primal mix of cedar and sweat-awakens a desire she thought was long dead. She was supposed to be a detached scientist, but his vulnerability ignites a forbidden, unprofessional spark.
As she crosses a line from which there is no return, Anya must make a choice. To get the sample would mean redemption for her career. But to earn his trust might mean the redemption of her soul. and the loss of everything else. In a place where desire is distilled into science, can she survive the most dangerous experiment of all?
