As a teen, she fled her abusive home—a survivor on her own terms—and swore never to return. But that was a lifetime ago. As a Hunter Agency operative, she's no longer a victim.
She's a protector.
Now she's gone undercover to protect the vulnerable genius who scrambles to fix a vital national security flaw. The mission means not only hiding from the bad guys and the ex-CIA field officer who's serving as an unofficial bodyguard, it means working in an area she never wanted to see again.
And it means that Kimmer, code named Chimera, must dig through her undercover identities and figure out who she really is. Because the only way she can save the present is to finally, truly, face her past.
But this time, the bad guys had better put on their running shoes.
"Imagine the pace of the TV show Alias, the smart, emotional whammy of Buffy, and characters you care about every minute." --Julie Czerneda, Aurora-winning Author of the Night's Edge series
Doranna Durgin is an award-winning author whose quirky spirit has led to an extensive publishing journey across genres, publishers, and publishing lines. Fantasy, Paranormal, Romantic Suspense, Mystery, a batch of tie-in books and a smattering of Science Fiction in both novel and short story forms--you can find them all in her fifty-plus titles, always with a special nod to the animals and natural world we all love. She's best known for the Changespell series featuring former equine Jess, and her most recent release completes the Reckoners trilogy--a powerful ghostbuster raised by a spirit, her brilliantly eccentric backup team, a cat who isn't a cat, and a fiercely driven bounty hunter from a different dimension who brings them together when worlds collide.
Beyond that, she hangs around outside her mountain home with horse and accomplished competition dogs. She doesn't believe in mastering the beast within, but in channeling its power--for good or bad has yet to be decided. She says, “My books are SF/F, mystery, paranormal romance, and romantic suspense. My dogs are Beagles, my home is the Southwest, and the horse wants a cookie!”
