Don't Take Me

By Sophia Lo Presti

What if eternal youth came at the cost of your soul?

The Perfectus virus was marketed as a miracle, flawless beauty, infinite life. Instead, it hollowed out humanity from the inside. Now Atlanta lives under martial law, its borders sealed against the soulless infected, and Katherine spends her nights in the delivery room, fighting to bring life into a city that only knows how to die.

Then her own sister betrays her, and Katherine wakes in a locked suite, her body no longer entirely her own.

Nathan Dortmund, ex-Navy turned pharmaceutical CEO, knows exactly what Katherine's blood means. She carries the highest resistance marker ever recorded. She's not just a doctor anymore, she's the foundation for a cure.

Katherine refuses to be a lab rat. Nathan refuses to let her slip through his fingers, even as the ruthless facade he's built to survive starts to crumble. What begins as a war of wills ignites into something reckless and consuming, blurring every line between captor and protector, between using someone and needing them.

But the deeper Katherine is pulled into Nathan's world, the more she discovers that the people closest to her are hiding the darkest secrets. And in a city where the walls are beginning to crack, the cost of salvation may be more than her blood.
