Brilliant Captive

Brilliant scientist Dr. Emma Blackstone is lured from her self-imposed isolation by the promise of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with NASA - but as soon as she relocates to the Sunshine State, Emma finds herself studying her handsome new co-worker almost as intently as the cutting-edge genome project they're working on together.Dr. Theodore "Teddy" Johnson is the opposite of every nerdy cliche - a tattooed, Harley-riding genius savant who prefers worn jeans and work boots to a stuffy white coat. More than that, he's the first man Emma's ever met who understands what it was like growing up with a mind like hers.For Teddy, genome sequencing is child's play compared to unlocking the enigma of Emma's heart. Layer by layer, he begins peeling back the barriers built up over a lifetime of isolation and anxiety - the result of Emma's terrifying childhood growing up in a sinister 'school for the gifted.' However, just as Teddy begins to forge the first real connection of Emma's life, the gut-wrenching past she thought she'd escaped suddenly comes back to haunt her. Pursued by sinister shadows from her childhood, Emma and Teddy are forced to flee for their lives - escaping to Maine, and the beautiful splendor of Teddy's family home in Harmony.There, the brilliant Dr. Blackstone continues to make discoveries - only they're not the kind you'd uncover in her lab. Instead, Emma discovers just how quickly and deeply you can fall in love with both a person, and a place.But if she's ever going to have a future with Teddy Johnson - or embrace the peace and beauty of Harmony - Emma's going to have to face her past first. It's just more difficult to risk it all when - for the first time in Emma's life - she's actually got something to lose.With Brilliant Captive, author Holly J. Martin adds a brand-new, installment to her popular Johnson Family series - a fast-flowing, deeply emotional love story that seamlessly weaves together heart-warming romance with pulse-racing suspense.
