Love
triangles abound, at least in fiction. We love to take sides and to root for
one team or another. The Double Helix
is a science fiction/urban fantasy series; it isn’t specifically a romance, but
love is universal and forms the core of this story. Let’s take a look at the
key players in this love triangle.
Zara Itani is a
Lebanese-Venezuelan assassin. Sultry and beautiful, she is lethal with blades
and guns, and her attitude is more abrasive than steel wool. Her relentlessly
practical, take-no-prisoners style results in her having little patience for
people who will not tackle a problem head-on. Strong-willed, an alpha female in
every possible way, Zara respects strength and courage. She also has a deeply
hidden streak of compassion that she will deny to her deathbed. She is “a catalyst of events,
most of them cataclysmic.”
It should come as no surprise
that, on a whim, she frees Galahad, the lab-created perfect human being from
his laboratory prison. Galahad is Zara’s perfect match. He possesses more than
an incisive intellect, impeccable manners, and stunning good looks. He’s the
only one who can beat Zara in a fair fight. Everyone wants him, but Zara has
him. Zara and Galahad are clearly made for each other.
When could perfection
possibly not be good enough? When you can compare perfection to its imperfect
source, of course.
Danyael Sabre is an alpha
empath and the genetic source of Galahad’s physical template. They have the
same pale blond hair, the same striking dark eyes, the same sculptured
features. Physically, they’re identical. In every other way that matters,
they’re not. After twenty-five years of imprisonment in the laboratory where he
was created, Galahad is eager and impatient to seize the world. On the other
hand, Danyael, after a traumatic childhood as an undiagnosed alpha empath,
wants nothing more than to be left alone to do his job as a doctor in a charity
clinic in poverty-stricken Brooklyn neighborhood.
Zara’s impulsive action in
freeing Galahad upends Danyael’s hard-won normal life. Inevitably, Zara and
Danyael meet, and just as inevitably, she dislikes him. Danyael’s psychic
shields, designed to deflect attention, are partially to blame, but she would
have found fault with him anyway. She thinks he’s evasive and a coward,
unwilling to face his past or embrace his empathic mutant powers. He thinks she’s
an interfering troublemaker with a ruthless and cruel streak, but is too polite
to say so. When she finally falls in love with him, they are not certain if she
did so on her own accord or whether she was influenced by his emotion-altering mutant
powers.
No question, Zara and Danyael
are made for each other too.
Who will Zara choose? The
perfect human being who wants her and everything that life can offer him, or
the alpha empath who watches silently from the sidelines of life? One thing is
certain; being loved by Zara isn’t safe. On a normal day, Zara can wreak more
havoc with love than most people can with hate. Good luck to the unfortunate guy
Zara chooses, because he’ll need it.
You can follow the
Zara-Galahad-Danyael love triangle, beginning with Perfection Unleashed, the first novel in the award-winning Double Helix series.

About The Double Helix series:
His genetic code sourced from the best that humanity
offers, Galahad embodies the pinnacle of perfection. When Zara Itani, a
mercenary whose abrasive arrogance exceeds her beauty, frees him from his
laboratory prison, she offers him the chance to claim everything that had ever
been denied him, beginning with his humanity.
Perfection cannot be unleashed without repercussions, and
Galahad’s freedom shatters Danyael Sabre’s life.
An alpha empath, Danyael is rare and coveted, even among
the alpha mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution. He wields the power to
heal or kill with a touch, but craves only privacy and solitude—both impossible
dreams for the man who was used as Galahad’s physical template.
Galahad and Danyael, two men, one face. One man seeks to
embrace destiny, and the other to escape it.

Helix series, consisting of Perfection Unleashed, Perfect

notions of perfection and humanity, and lead you in a celebration of courage
and compassion. Science fiction, urban fantasy, and action-adventure readers
