Zeke is the fifth person to be reanimated after being cryonically preserved for ten years. But he wakes up to a world that resents his very existence. Everything he worked for is in danger of being destroyed. The last thing he needs is a well-meaning scientist with her own agenda. Michelle would rather work with anyone besides the surly scientist she's been partnered with. The man desperately needs an attitude adjustment. Too bad his penetrating glares also manage to hit a long-buried place inside her. It doesn't matter because there's no way she's going to enter a relationship with a coworker. And after his disastrous marriage, he has no interest in letting any woman get under his skin. Even in their standoff, sparks fly. Eventually they will have to face the truth because curing disease isn't their only job these days. Staying one step ahead of whoever would rather see them dead is equally important. They need each other, and it would be much easier if they could get along. Even better if they could find a way to let the other into their hearts.
