Drake had not seen Nolete since the day she disappeared ten years ago. He never knew where she went or what had happened to her. Drake was shocked by how much Nolete has changed, what happened to her? Where was the woman he loved?

Nolete didn’t trust scientists. The Center and Dr. Killigan had shown her what evil they could do. How could she work with one now? When she finds out the scientist she'll be working with is Drake, the safe world she had built began to fall apart as Nolete fights the desires of her heart. What will Drake and Nolete find as they close in on their suspect?

Hard Habit to Break is a sensual love story of how two people torn apart by deceit find their way back to each other. The action in this story starts out with gripping drama as you have to ask yourself, what was in the shot Dr. Killigan gave Nolete? Who betrayed Nolete? Was it Drake? Or does someone else want to hurt her? Drake realizes his love for Nolete never died and fights to save their lives and future. Melissa Schroeder writes passion as wild and untamed as the jungle with characters that know how to use it. There is a shocking twist at the end that will take you by surprise. Take a journey into the future and read the entire Federation CTD series this year, where the men are still hunks and the women fiercely passionate. Enjoy!
