Emotions suck. Before he came along, I never knew what it meant to belong. I walked the thin line between life and death. There was no middle-ground. This dragon taught me more than I imagined was possible. With him by my side, everything was right. And then it all fell apart. To keep him safe, I let go of the most important thing to me. It hurt—a lot. I can't dwell on what could have been, when our freedom is on the line. Going back to my old ways proves more difficult than I imagined. And fate... it has a way of getting what it wants. I rebuild the walls inside, to keep me sane, only to have them crumble again. Each trial—each step closer to our freedom—my resolve wavers. And when I face the ultimate test, it's not just my future on the line. --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.

Fear is natural. But not for me. I was designed not to feel emotion. It kept me controlled. It made me a monster. Until I got a taste of what I was missing. Tortured and plagued by my bloody past, I can't let anyone in. They don't want to see the monster lurking inside. The darkness that gnaws at my mind, threatening to consume me. But the past has a way of creeping in when you least expect. When that happens, I find myself turning to the infuriating dragon I've sworn to keep at a distance. But as my secrets spill from the shadows, I don't know if I'm prepared to pay the price my confessions will demand. --- EXPERIMENTAL HEART (Complete Series) Destiny (#1) Pieces (#2) Secrets (#3) Exposed (#4) Surrendered (#5) Reborn (#6) --- Note: Like all of Shannon Pemrick's work, the Experimental Heart series contains strong language, violence, substance use, love scenes, and difficult situations.
