eBook Description: In the very near future some of the diseases we live with today have raged out of control, and the government decides to quarantine all those infected with them to an obscure island. One such carrier is Sharon, a smart but cynical lady who is shipped off along with a group of other diagnosed "incurables." It isn't long however before she discovers what the island truly is: a refuge filled with desperate and despairing people. Sharon struggles to keep her humanity in this savage new environment. Unfortunately a sudden plague soon develops and the old islanders blame it on their newest shipment of "incurables." As paranoia divides the population, Sharon and the other newcomers eventually seek refuge in the wilds of the island. But there they discover that an even more horrible fate awaits them, and Sharon's true race against time begins.

"You're getting beyond it, aren't you?" he said.

She knew what he meant: his reputation, his womanizing, and his escapade in Paris. "I'm learning to know you from my own experience and not from the gossip."

He reached for her hand and lifted it to his lips.

Nikki took her last sip of wine and shook her head at his suggestion of dessert. "You'd have to roll me out of here on a dolly."

John helped her with her jacket. "Let's walk on the terrace," he said.

When they found a private section where they could see Lake Michigan and not be observed, his hand stopped her as he pulled her close.

"May I kiss you?"

She nodded. Warm lips brushed hers once, twice. She rested her cheek against his shoulder, enjoying his closeness and strength. How would he kiss her when passion made his hands tremble and his blood pump? She shoved the thought away. It would never happen. She wasn't going to let it. Her breath caught. The tips of his fingers stirred the tiny hairs at the nape of her neck. The warmth turned to heat. The ache deep in her heart began to throb. As the embrace lengthened, it was her own heart that pounded.
