Born to Darkness (with bonus short story Shane's Last Stand)

Set in a frightening, near-future America enduring a second Great Depression, the novel introduces the Obermeyer Institute (OI), a scientific research facility that recruits and trains individuals known as "Greater-Thans." These rare people possess the unique ability to access untapped regions of the brain, granting them extraordinary powers such as telekinesis, super strength, and even the reversal of the aging process. However, a highly addictive designer drug called Destiny offers a quick, seductive alternative to becoming a Greater-Than, but with a lethal price. OI operative Michelle "Mac" Mackenzie, a powerful Greater-Than, is a crack operative determined to end the scourge of Destiny, which is being mass-produced by a sinister cartel called The Organization. Mac’s kick-ass focus is thrown for a loop when former Navy SEAL Shane Laughlin, dishonorably discharged and down on his luck, finds work as a test subject at the institute. Shane is the same smoldering stranger with whom Mac had a passionate one-night stand, and his presence forces her to mix business with pleasure. Though Shane is not a Greater-Than, his skills as an ex-SEAL make him an asset. As Mac risks her life in the ultimate war on drugs, she must also face the terrifying prospect of sacrificing her heart. This edition includes the bonus short story, "Shane's Last Stand."
