Formerly part of the Elite Metal, Elite Ghosts and Elite Elements anthologies, these heroes are gathered in one place to destroy Red Wolf's reign of terror.
And maybe trip into that sneaky foxhole called love along the way.
Mercury's Poison
A scarred, mad genius more monster than man must protect the beauty he's become obsessed with from a beast more terrible than himself.
Serum 17 took his face, took his kindness and took his empathy. It took, in essence, all of John Thrace leaving only the Elite Metal operative "Mercury" in his place. A man marked with a biohazard tattoo because he knows he's incompatible with other living things. Until he becomes obsessed with the seemingly innocent doctor Hazel Brewer and a chance encounter changes everything. Hazel knows the giant scarred man won't hurt her even though she's in the business of saving lives and he'd rather take them. In fact, she's never felt safer or more alive than when she's with him. Even when a terrible biological weapon forces her into his arms for a night of hot passion she won't soon forget. Their love could be the redemption he never thought he wanted, or something even more toxic: Mercury's poison.
Nickel's Wounds
Hell hath no fury like a Marine who's lost her way. Beauty was once her currency, but for a woman who can't feel anything but agony, she has nothing left. Except the vengeance that could destroy the one man whose love could teach her how to save herself.
Operation Phoenix almost destroyed Katarina "Nickel" Dupree. She may be breathing, but she's still a ghost, a pale shadow of the woman she once was. All she has left is revenge. It's the only thing that makes her come alive and the only thing she wants to feel, the only thing that makes the constant pain bearable. When the opportunity presents itself to deal Red Wolf a serious blow by going deep undercover into a sex trafficking ring, she takes it. Even though it's her deepest, darkest fear - after being assaulted, it's the monster under the bed. But it's their turn to be afraid. Katarina will be the name whispered on the lips of the dying as they beg for merciful death.
Marcus "Tin" Grant won't let her go into that hell alone. A former Blood enforcer, he knows just how far she has to fall before the honorable, brave Marine he knew is gone forever. He'd had more death on his hands by the time he was seventeen than all the lives he's taken as a member of Elite Metal. Katarina saved his life and he figures he owes her the same. He vows to catch her before she hits bottom, but finds himself rocketing past the point of no return right next to her.
When they're forced into a compromising situation, his tenderness shows Nickel just where her wounds are. His patience teaches her how to breathe again. And just maybe his love will break the chains she's wrapped around her heart and Katarina Dupree will save herself from the dark.
Palladium's Confession
Wen "Palladium" Theophanes was once known by another name. He was The Confessor, a cold-blooded assassin for a shadow organization called The Left Hand - and it was whispered that he was so skilled in the art of death, he could make the devil repent his sins. But now he's Elite, and he has one goal - the utter ruin of Red Wolf. Nothing will stand between him and vengeance. Not even the sexy BBW who tilted his world on its axis and caused him to miss a hit for the first time.
Hekate Bakas wasn't trying to save her uncle, she was trying to save herself. She knew it was only a matter of time before Talbot tried to kill her. The assassin dressed in priest's clothing might just be a fallen angel sent to answer her prayers. She gets more than she bargained for in this deal with the devil's confessor, but the price is something she can't afford - her heart.
