Captured
Maya survived the Lycanthropy outbreak that changed her world. She survived a werewolf attack that infected her, changed her and gave her powers she's yet to understand. But now she's alive and well and on the run.
For Maya Bonner, "well" means no tubes in her arms, no electrodes on her skin, and absolutely no lab coats in sight. A werewolf attack victim who has become a powerful psychic, Maya is the property of a government that wants to keep her locked in a research hospital. She's on the run in a desperate attempt to keep her younger sister, a full-fledged werewolf, from the scientists' clutches, but she underestimates the long arm of the law.
Werewolves are Adam Shepherd's specialty. In a world taken over by a monstrous disease, survivors might hold the key to mankind's survival in their veins. Lycanthropy took his family. Werewolves killed his friends--the only family he had left. If he can neutralize pack after pack in the name of a cure, then he's fulfilling two driving needs with one urgent mission.
Not all fugitives have fangs, however.
When Maya's stunned by intimate premonitions about the hardened, no-nonsense leader of ruthless hunters as they capture her, she's terrified. Her hands somehow know the feel of his smooth, muscular skin. Her lips know his taste. But her heart knows he must be her enemy. How can the man who threatens to take away her and her sister's freedom ever be her lover?

Okay, so for me it started off a little slow, but it picked up pace. And then, in between the action and the sex there appears a touching love story.
Oh, and keep an eye out for chapter 17, need a vacation after that one! ;)
