Mercury Striking (The Scorpius Syndrome Book 1)

After a killer outbreak, a doctor searches for the one man who can help her find a cure in the New York Times bestselling author's romantic adventure. The deadly Scorpius Syndrome has decimated North America. Now the few remaining survivors struggle to avoid infection and rebuild society. Dr. Lynne Harmony believes she can find a cure - but she knows she can't do it alone. With nothing but rumors to lead her, Dr. Lynne Harmony has trekked across a nightmare landscape to find one man - a mysterious, damaged legend who protects the weak and leads the strong. Former military man Jax Mercury is more than muscle and firepower - and in post-plague L.A., he's Lynne's only hope. But with powerful forces searching for Lynne, and some in Jax's camp desperate enough to betray him, they'll have to keep close if they want to survive.
