Last in Line

Innovative Scientist Claudius Baron relished his ordinary appearance which helped him move freely around humans. He coveted his ability to test his inventions against his people's enemies without censure. Everything changed when he was the last person in his line alive. Real Estate Appraiser Simone Locklear took her responsibilities seriously. Raising her niece, keeping her business afloat and being a good friend topped her list.
When her niece disappears she fears the worst and pledges to do anything to get the child back. Baron and Simone can't stop the train wreck of fate that has them on a collision course for a rocky future. He'd drop her in a heartbeat if he could and she can't help but wonder if things are moving too fast. Baron can't slow down, he has a mandate, a purpose to fulfill as Last in Line.
