Derrick is drawn to a woman that he doesn’t trust, and he’s trying to fight it. He knows he has trust issues with women, but this one is not trustworthy from the start. After all, she’s been working with his enemy out of Pearson Labs for quite some time now, and he knows she has to be behind some of the things that have been happening there. Or does she? He doesn’t know what to think when all his Circe instincts kick in and decide that she is his mate.

Sabrina doesn’t care anymore, she has found out that the worst could happen to her and it has. Now she just wants to help as many people as she can before her problem becomes insurmountable. However, there’s a certain stubborn Circe who just won’t get out of the way...

I loved the characters in this story, they were both strong people that had been betrayed in more ways than one, yet struggled on with what they thought was right. Derrick is having a difficult time facing his trust issues, and with all the problems that Sabrina brings with her it makes it twice as hard. Sabrina has a lot of things going on with her but manages to still come out strong and right. The interactions between all the members and Sabrina make the story believable, because none of them welcome her with open arms due to where she came from. The sex in the story was sizzling, there is a little M/M and some situations where Derrick is forced to get a little rough with Sabrina but she seems to like it. There were a couple of distractions in the story that didn’t need to be there, the Dr’s relationship being one of them. Of course she could be setting up the next story, but didn’t seem to fit in where it was. Overall it flowed well, had a lot of action, and kept me on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next installment with Hale!
