Perfect Specimen: Brietta

This novella will quench your thirst for more in Kate Donovan’s Perfect Specimen series featuring alien geneticist Ga’rag, an alien searching for the perfect specimen.


To archaeologist Brietta Ryerson, traveling to a remote location to excavate an ancient cemetery is the job of a lifetime and nothing is going to stop her from getting there, especially not a sinus infection, no matter how debilitating the pain.


Except what she’s suffering from isn’t a sinus infection, but rather a pain-inducing chip implanted in her face by alien geneticist Ga’rag. His twin goals: test this specimen’s suitability for cloning, while also exacting revenge against Brietta’s cousin – the human who tried to thwart his first DNA-hunt.


Meanwhile, cocky adventurer Sean Taggert regrets hiring Brietta for this gig despite her perfect credentials. For one thing, she’s annoyingly attractive. Plus, she’s too perceptive, and might realize that the cemetery is just a decoy – something to distract from Taggert’s real find.


There’s no question that Sean Taggert is as sexy as he is talented, but Brietta has no intention of damaging her reputation for a small fling. Besides that, she’s too busy trying to keep her headaches under control to bother with passion. But for how long will the headaches simply remain headaches? Ga’rag is getting closer to finding his perfect specimen and this time no one is going to get in his way, not Brietta and certainly not cocky Sean Taggert.
