A taut medical thriller mixed with romance and relationship drama, HPV's fast-paced story and ever-twisting plot will keep readers entranced until the last explosive page.
Captain Mariah Gordon, MD, is a talented and successful obstetrician/gynecologist. She lives with her serious, career-oriented lawyer boyfriend, Emery, and enjoys her work as a staff OB-GYN. Unfortunately for her, she's about to confront a medical mystery that will test her skills, her spirit, and her relationship.
Gordon's patients are victims of an outbreak of cervical cancer, caused by a super strain of HPV. The virus is aggressive, affecting otherwise healthy, strong young women. More alarmingly, the epicenter of the outbreak appears to be Gordon herself.
As Gordon struggles to understand why her patients seem more vulnerable to HPV than others, the strain puts pressure on her relationship with Emery. And when he moves out, a new woman quickly appears in his life-a woman with a hidden agenda and a connection to a tragic event in Gordon's past.
Someone seems to have it in for Gordon-someone capable of wielding a virus like a weapon. Unless Gordon can uncover this unknown antagonist, she may well become the next victim of HPV.
