In a world where UFO sightings have become alarmingly frequent, the US government's top-secret A.L.I.V.E. Project was created to prepare for an impending alien threat. Dr. Maeve Leander, raised in the shadow of this covert operation, now leads the research on Alvie, the project's first alien subject. To Maeve, Alvie isn't just an experiment; he's family. But when a mysterious new agency seizes control of A.L.I.V.E., Maeve's world is turned upside down.

When Dr. Maeve Leander escaped Area 51 with her unusual family, she knew the safety net provided by the President of the United States would only be short lived. And she was right. On the run, new allies join Maeve in her fight for her family's survival. But with each new person, the risk to Alvie and the triplets grows as do the questions: What do these new people want? Why are they helping them and what is their end game? In all the uncertainty surrounding her, Maeve is sure of only one thing: she will do everything in her power to keep her family safe.

Dr. Maeve Leander and Captain Chris Garrigan are trusting Tilda Watson to keep Alvie, the triplets, and their expanding circle of fugitives safe. Not that they have much choice. With dangerous forces within the U.S. government chasing them down, their list of safe harbors is down to one: an island long thought to be only myth. But this new hiding spot is not as secure as it seems. For a new threat has entered the field of battle, a threat not of this Earth. And in this new existence, allegiances are as deadly and changeable as quicksand under their feet.

Dr. Greg Schorn is now working with the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense (D.E.A.D.). And no one is more surprised than him. After the events in Norway, Greg was sure he would never go back into government work. Yet just a few months later, he is back in the United States working at the new D.E.A.D. headquarters in upstate New York. But it's not the same D.E.A.D. that existed under Martin Drummond's tyrannical rule. The biggest change starts at the top: Norah Tidwell is the director. But more importantly, missions are not always kill on sight.

Encoded Desire is book three in the Project H.A.L.I. series—a steamy, high-stakes sci-fi romance packed with raw vulnerability, forbidden code, and one woman’s battle to choose who she wants to be…and who she wants to love.

Martin Drummond will stop at nothing to find Maeve Leander and her family. But the threat Martin offers pales in comparison to the world ending cataclysm that is now on the horizon....
