On Borrowed Time

Rebecca McDaniels is working on the project of her career, developing a new fuel that will revolutionize the way the world travels. The team she's working with is excellent. Daniel Howe, a man who chases life from a wheelchair, is her partner. Together, they work on finding the right mixture of litrogen to use as fuel. Karen and Tom Smith, recently married, are the engineers creating the perfect rocket engine for testing the fuel. Leigh Zachary, the pretentious daughter of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, keeps things from blowing up while trying to usurp the team leader's authority. Still, Dr. Elliot Talbot, Rebecca's mentor and the discoverer of litrogen, is a smart man and keeps them all in line.The one person Rebecca keeps at a distance is the liaison to the Board of Directors--Chad Thompson. He's funny, handsome, and great to be with; but, since the death of her husband, Rebecca reminds herself that she's hardened her heart against any attempt by any man to catch her interest. And, it's not a secret. Everyone on the team knows it, yet Chad seems intent on getting to know Rebecca better.When Elliot Talbot dies suddenly, Rebecca faces the pain of losing someone else she loves. She's overjoyed when she finds out her uncle will be taking Elliot's place and works harder than ever to find the correct formula to contain and stabilize the volatile fuel. If she and Danny are unsuccessful in this task, the Board of Directors will pull their funding and cancel the project. Weeks go by, and things start to go wrong. Fuel samples are contaminated, expensive hardware is damaged, parts are missing. Someone is trying to sabotage the project! Rebecca repeatedly feels as if she's being watched, but dismisses the feeling as paranoia.Then, one evening, as she's working alone in the lab, Rebecca catches the saboteurs in the act. When they take her hostage, she makes a discovery that turns her life upside down. Her heart breaks with each new revelation about her mentor, her husband, and about her life's work.When she escapes with this new knowledge, she wonders how much of it is true. She even begins to wonder if she really was kidnapped as life returns to normal. But it did happen--and she wonders if life will ever be the same.Then the project takes a deadly turn, and millions of lives hang in the balance. Rebecca knows that she cannot wait for someone to rescue her from the mess her life has become--she must act! It's simple. All she has to do is stop a madman, shut down the project, and decide between the men who are tugging on her heart--one with pure motives and one with a deadly agenda.
