Series Backstory:
Sometime between the interminable wars in the Middle East and 9/11, the United States moved forward breeding a race of super humans. Clandestine labs formed, armed with eager scientists who’d always yearned to manipulate human DNA. At first the clones looked promising, growing to fighting size in as little as a dozen years, but V1 had design flaws.
Seven years ago, a rogue group turned on their creators, blew up the lab, and hit all the other breeding farms, freeing whomever they could find. In the intervening time, they’ve retreated to hidden compounds and created a society run by men. Women are kept on a tight leash because the men fear if they discover their innate power, they’d launch their own rebellion.

Book
Description:
Being a genetically altered human
without a name grew old, so Glory named herself. Surrounded by a maze of
unpleasant alternatives, she makes a bold choice and ends up a fugitive in the
midst of a Minnesota winter. Once she’s on the run, she discovers how
unprepared she is for life outside her protected compound.
CIA agent, Roy Kincaid, devoted
his career to hunting super humans who staged a rebellion seven years before.
He’s not making much headway, so he goes deep undercover. One blustery night, a
striking woman staggers into the café where he’s catching a late meal. Part
waif, part runway model, the half-frozen woman arrows straight into his heart.
Glory’s flat out of alternatives,
but death in the storm might be preferable to telling the tall stranger looming
over her anything. Sensing Roy is dangerous, she pushes into his head seeking
clues and discovers he hunts those like her. Maybe she can fool him, just for
tonight. Get a hot meal and dry motel room out of the deal. If she’s lucky,
he’ll never find out she’s on the run from the same group he’s targeted for
death.
The thing she didn’t count on was
falling in love.

We
have to trust to fight side by side, but love’s so unexpected—and so
irresistible —it trumps everything.
Book Description:
Honor takes a huge chance and
flees her compound one wintry night. A genetically altered woman, she has no
memories from before her kin staged a rebellion seven years before. Because of
her enhanced physiology, she finds a home working for the CIA alongside four
other women just like her. There are still plenty of rules, but they’re
different, and she’s figuring out how to blend in.
Milton Reins burns through women
and marriages. After the third one implodes, he swears off hunting for a
replacement. Running the CIA is a more than fulltime job. There’s no time for
anything else in his life, which is fine until Honor comes along. Training in
the gym throws their bodies together and makes him remember the feel of a woman
in his arms. Milton aches for her, but she’s a freak—the CIA term for test tube
humans designed by scientists.
Honor wants Milton with every
bone in her body, but it’s a terrible idea, especially after she delves into
his head and sees his ambivalence toward her kind. Need drives them together,
but their differences create roadblocks every step of the way. Fueled by anger
and fear, she shuts him out. So what if the sex was great, she’s done.
Or is she?

What
does it take to move past a lifetime of hating?
Book Description:
Charity’s luck never ran strong
because her original configuration was unstable. Her handlers designed
experiments to fix the problem, but only made it worse. Sick to death of living
under their thumb, she jumps at a chance to escape her compound. She’s no
sooner settled in as a CIA special operative—a role where she can put her
augmented mind and body to use—when her wobbly genetics escalate.
Tony’s a freak—a genetically
altered human waging war against the government. He snaps up an offer of
amnesty, walking away from his role as a genetic researcher to work for the
CIA. When Charity collapses in a severe seizure, he labors to save her life,
but nothing’s working. In a last ditch effort, he joins his mind to hers and
discovers he wants her more than he’s ever wanted anything. Only problem is she
hates every single male freak for how they treated women in the compounds.
Charity recovers from her medical
crisis, but all she can think about is Tony. Furious, determined to never let
anyone like him near her, she blocks him from her mind, but he seeps back in
anyway. Loving someone like Tony is a huge risk, a gamble that could throw her
already precarious genes into a tailspin.
Knowing all that, why the hell is
she considering it?
About
the Author:
Ann Gimpel is a mountaineer at
heart. Recently retired from a long career as a psychologist, she remembers
many hours at her desk where her body may have been stuck inside four walls,
but her soul was planning yet one more trip to the backcountry. Around the turn
of the last century (that would be 2000, not 1900!), she managed to finagle
moving to the Eastern Sierra, a mecca for those in love with the mountains. It
was during long backcountry treks that Ann’s writing evolved. Unlike some who
see the backcountry as an excuse to drag friends and relatives along, Ann
prefers solitude. Stories always ran around in her head on those journeys,
sometimes as a hedge against abject terror when challenging conditions made her
fear for her life, sometimes for company. Eventually, she returned from a trip
and sat down at the computer. Three months later, a five hundred page novel
emerged. Oh, it wasn’t very good, but it was a beginning. And, she learned a
lot between writing that novel and its sequel.
Around that time, a friend of
hers suggested she try her hand at short stories. It didn’t take long before
that first story found its way into print and they’ve been accepted pretty
regularly since then. One of Ann’s passions has always been ecology, so her
tales often have a green twist.
In addition to writing, Ann
enjoys wilderness photography. She lugs pounds of camera equipment in her
backpack to distant locales every year. A standing joke is that over ten
percent of her pack weight is camera gear which means someone else has to carry
the food! That someone is her husband. They’ve shared a life together for a
very long time. Children, grandchildren and three wolf hybrids round out their
family.
