Dirty Love (14 page)
He cleared his throat and tried again. “Just as long as they remember you're
ours
."
Happiness unfurled inside Isy's chest. She laid a soft kiss on the tip of his nose, just as he'd done to her all those months ago. Or all those years in the future? It was all so confusing, but she looked forward to figuring it out.
"Oh, I think you made that clear enough,” she said, then kissed him again.
Reluctantly, Isy finally freed herself from Connor's grip. The concerned whispers and questions continued, but no one made any move to push her, or force her to do anything she wasn't ready to do.
She rose, a little unsteady on her feet. A moment later, Connor and Trevor flanked her on either side. Their arms glided around her back, forming an impenetrable protective barrier.
She gave a happy sigh before placing a kiss on Trevor's cheek, then another on Connor's. The three of them walked out of the phase transference room as one.
A grin spread over her face. She couldn't help it. Her cheeks hurt from all the happiness blooming inside her, making itself known in a silly smile that just wouldn't go away. This was where she belonged.
With her men at her side, Isy thought, a woman could do anything. Maybe even save the world.
She'd started by saving herself. Then Connor and Trevor.
Three down, a few billion to go. For once, Isy didn't doubt she might just be up to the challenge.
Lacey Savage began her love affair with romance at an early age. In high school, she checked out steamy romance novels from the public library and would often be found reading them in the middle of class.
Lacey still reads more than she cares to admit, and probably more than her husband would like, considering how many books she keeps bringing into the house. Her favorite genres have always been erotica, romance, fantasy, science fiction and mystery, so she tries to incorporate a little of each into her writing.
She initially majored in Marketing, then went back to school to major in English Literature. After earning her degrees, she decided to turn her efforts to her true passion: writing. A hopeless romantic, Lacey loves writing about the intimate, sensual side of relationships.
She currently resides in Ottawa, Canada, with her loving husband and their mischievous cat.

Isabel Warren wouldn't dream of defying the morality statutes that forbid women over forty from ever making love again. As a medical practitioner, she understands the need for laws preventing “dirty love.” The S.O.S. virus of 2030 left most of the male population infertile and turned human DNA into something resembling a microscopic jigsaw puzzle. The virus itself is undoubtedly dangerous, but older women are perhaps the most significant threat humanity has ever faced.
Yet knowing what's forbidden and keeping her feminine urges under lock and key are two different things. Especially when Isy's most recent assignment requires her to run intimate tests on Connor Flynn, a man sixteen years her junior, who seems determined to prove she's not the monster everyone else thinks she is. And if such delicious temptation wasn't bad enough, she's also got Trevor Jones to worry about. It seems he, too, is willing to risk everything to be with her.
Two sexy men, and one woman who could destroy them both ... if they don't destroy her first...
Robert and Jess may just be the world's most unlikely couple—a gay man and a lesbian. But there is something more complex going on here: Jess may be the reincarnation of the lover Robert lost to AIDS more than two decades ago.
Can they transcend sexual orientation and find true love ... again?
But before this question can be answered, both must confront a deadly peril just waiting to pounce...

But the murderer has other designs, and it soon becomes a race against time and the police to discover the fiend's identity before he silences Sean or Bridget ... permanently...
