Regenerate
by Sarita Leone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
Paranormal Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The Octopus
isn't an urban myth—and its agents are anything but ordinary. The intelligence
bureau is so well-hidden most doubt its existence. A handful know its location.
And fewer walk the halls in the subterranean compound.
Benjamin
Sinclair didn't ask to be a scientific miracle but every mission has its risks
and one perfectly-placed bullet ended his life—for a brief moment in time.
Nicole Anima
battles demons every day. Life as a paranormal resources operative gives her
tortured mind a rest—and keeps her from contemplating her own death.
When Anima and
Sinclair partner on a globe-trotting race to eliminate the threat about to
cripple humanity, all hell breaks loose. Leaping from planes, crashing into
continents, dealing with voodoo priestesses, and running through jungles with
zombies hot on their trail doesn't leave much time for romance, but this duo
somehow manages to sizzle.
Two agents.
Telepathic mind paired with regenerated commando. One world—and a mission to
save it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
Even
perspiration couldn’t keep the hair on the nape of her neck from bristling at
the sound of Sinclair’s deep voice. Rising to his bait wouldn’t get her anywhere.
Neither would angering him, but on that score she didn’t care.
“I
won’t do it.” She forced her parched throat to swallow. Straightening, she
fisted a hand on her left hip and spread her legs. The shooting pose came
naturally. “I refuse. I don’t work for you—and I won’t work with you. Never
again.”
“Never
doesn’t scare me.”
“Why
would it? The never concept only works for humans.”
Her
blood pressure felt higher than it had when she’d been running full out.
“Now,
don’t get yourself all worked up. It won’t do you any good, and somewhere deep
inside that gorgeous body of yours, you know it.” He paused, then chuckled
again. “I can help with that, you know.”
The
sudden turn in their conversation brought her guard down.
“Help
with what?”
“Satisfaction.
I can satisfy you…if you’ll let me. Jagger makes a good song but he sure can’t
give you what you want.”
Facts
ran in her head like a movie on high speed, reminding her of crucial bits of
information about the man on the other end of the phone. Practical ones like
how he took his coffee. Black, no sugar. Emotional facts, regarding his family.
He didn’t have any. All killed in a horrific airplane crash in the Ecuadorean
jungle. Logical details about his illogical existence.
So
many things, yet she’d forgotten one of the most basic. His scientifically
enhanced mind. Three minutes, and already he’d snared her in his web.

GUEST POST:
Regenerate Character Interviews
There are
points in everyone’s life where roads fork, visions change, or goals shift.
Those are the times when we may do something we’ve dreamed of doing but haven’t
attempted.
REGENERATE is the result of a focus change in my
life. I’ve written a number of Regency and contemporary romances but have
always wanted to try my hand at something edgier. Something with some
heart-stopping action in it. Something paranormal. So when I got the idea for
this book, I ran with it and never looked behind me. Better to run without
seeing what’s chasing you, don’t you think?
Anyhow, this
move from contemporary and historical romances to paranormal romantic thrillers
seems a perfect fit. I loved writing this book—Nicole Anima and Benjamin
Sinclair are fearless. Their struggle to keep the world safe from evil feels
relevant.
Benjamin Sinclair is the world’s first regenerated
human—that is, a sniper’s bullet killed this commando but science and stem cell
technology brought him back to life. He’s invincible and immortal which makes
him the ideal choice for battling a zombie army or stopping an assassin’s
bullet.
Stem cell
research is something close to my heart. I’ve had a profound, life-changing
brush with stem cells and the possibilities they hold for saving lives. While
they don’t, sadly, cure everyone who needs their medical miracle, they do have
potential—and save some. So Sinclair is my way of saving a hero and letting him
live to save others.
Anima and Sinclair work for an
elite, super covert government intelligence agency called The Octopus. The
Octopus houses the nation’s finest tactical military minds. They keep evil from
taking over the world, without anyone ever realizing they’ve even been saved.
Nicole is badass beautiful, a woman whose psychic ability
has had her to the brink of madness more than once. She’s found her stride,
though, working as an agent but spending time with Sinclair might just push her
over the edge. You see, she and Sinclair have a past. And, whether she likes it
or not, he still holds her heart.
REGENERATE is a story of redemption, rebirth, and
the restoration of order from chaos. Forgiving Sinclair for breaking her heart
is a bigger challenge for Anima than jumping from a plane or crashing into a
continent but that’s what she faces. Living after catastrophe is a burden on
Sinclair’s wide shoulders. And a world gone mad…well, anyone alive today has
seen that happen. Our nightly news from around the globe shows the atrocities
humans inflict upon each other. This story, and the others that follow in the
series, show that even when we’re faced with what seems insurmountable, we’ve
got it in us to overcome. We can shift focus, find a new goal, or take a fork
in the road…
