Mated with the Cyborg
by Cara Bristol

GENRE: Sci-fi Romance

BLURB:
Then he met her.
Mariska. Beautiful. Innocent. Ignorant of her father’s atrocities. And marked
for death.
His orders said
nothing about saving her. But he did. He went off-mission.
Can a rogue cyborg
outrun both Cyber Operations and the terrorists to save the woman he loves?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
Her father pushed back his chair and patted Janai’s head
before rounding on Mariska.
She dropped her gaze to the floor. Her stomach was already
there. Show no fear. Show no fear.
“Stand up,” Obido ordered.
She attempted to rise, but her feet tangled in her skirt.
R981’s arm shot out as if to keep her from stumbling.
“What are you doing?” Obido glared at the android.
“I am performing my duty and assisting her,” he replied.
“Your duty is to report to me.” Her father confirmed what
she’d suspected.
“She was about to fall.”
It sounded like R981 was arguing. The general must have
thought too also, because his eyes narrowed on the android, but then he jerked
his attention back to her. “Remove your scarf.”
No one had seen her face since she was a child teased to
tears by her siblings. It had been a relief to be ordered to wear the veil to
spare the sensibilities of others and escape their horrified looks. While
bathing, she avoided the reflection glass and its taunting reminder of her
ugliness. Stomach clenching into a hard knot, she released the opaque fabric
from one side of her headdress.
Her father grimaced,
and Janai, who’d never seen her naked face, gasped.
Mariska held her head
high and stared straight ahead.
HOLY HELL! KAI Andros almost fell over. This was what Lamis-Odg considered deformed,
ugly? Fortunately, his black contact lenses concealed most of his shock. Intel intercepted by Cyber Operations had
reported the fifth daughter of one of the most infamous terrorists had a
“significant facial defect.” Her eight sisters had been married—mated was the
term these people used—but no one wanted
her, fearing she would produce hideous offspring.
He hadn’t seen her face until now.
In the genetic game of chance, Mariska had been dealt a
royal flush. She was fucking gorgeous.
Don’t gawk! A real android wouldn’t react, but as a cyborg,
a red-blooded heterosexual man working undercover as a robot, how could he
not?
