Plot Summary of Stay in the Light
"Alexa Bristow, a woman with an extraordinary talent, has finally escaped the scientific facility that has held her prisoner for years. Through a series of unfortunate events, she finds herself on the run and in the company of one of the galaxy's most dangerous and sought-after fugitives: ex-military Special Forces Ranger, Cade Rogan. Alexa begins to feel drawn to this ruggedly handsome fugitive, who, despite his ruthless notoriety, may not be the heartless killer he is portrayed to be.

As Alexa struggles with her newfound feelings for a man who may never know how to love, she is determined to keep her promise to find and safely deliver the evidence that would clear his name. Her journey into his dangerous and complicated life thrusts her into a world of insatiable greed, horrific military experiments, and a galactic empire bent on total domination. She must find a way to overcome such terrible odds, but her most daunting task is to melt the frozen walls of Cade Rogan's heart.
