Tesla’s Imprint

BLURB:
Some
things just can’t be erased.
Simon’s
visions of a little girl are the only memories he has. Like an imprint on his
heart, the visions cling. Who is she? Who is he for that matter? Tracked and
hunted across the world, and in possession of a device that sets him apart from
time and space, danger follows him at each turn.
He
never meant to drag Tess into his drama. But with one slow, seductive dance in
a candlelit nightclub, that’s exactly what he’s done.
Tesla’s
own heritage is a mystery in itself. Born of wealth into a corporation with no
paper trail, she’s called back to take the helm. But what’s the nature of the
business she’s supposed to lead? And how does it connect her to Simon?

Excerpt
Simon leaned with his back against the door. The metal was
searing hot through his layers of clothing, but he barely reacted to the burn.
He understood the feeling that flooded through his being, the sense that the
young woman from the nightclub was just on the other side of the frame. It was
false, of course. Once the device opened the slice it automatically detached
and became inactive. When the door closed she was a world away.
What am I thinking? He firmly banged his head against the
solid door, tacky with hot paint. When he’d told her he made a promise, he
couldn’t have been more serious – and more disturbed by his reaction to the
encounter in the night club than he cared to admit to himself.
What could he possibly have to offer such a beautiful young
woman after a dance like the one they shared? God, he didn’t even know who he
was. The only thing he could even be sure about was that he was in danger, all
the time.
He had to learn the truth about his past and why he knew the
things he did without remembering them. Until then, the only thing he could be
is a shadow on the edge of society. Everyone was safer that way.
He replayed the way she felt in his arms, how she stood on
her toes to kiss his chin with her irresistible lips. She felt familiar to him
in a way he hadn’t experienced for what seemed like a lifetime. It didn’t
matter, though. He couldn’t let it matter. She was halfway across the world
now, and all the better for it.
…besides, he had work to do.
