Once a celebrated geneticist, Dr. Anya Sharma’s career lies in ruins**.** Haunted by a lab fire and whispers of hubris, she takes a job in the one place that won’t ask questions: Progenitus Prime, a top-secret facility where myth and science breed for the highest bidder.

Her assignment: Stall 13. The specimen: a Minotaur whose prize genetics are worth millions. But Tauros is more than a simple asset. He is a scarred, savage beast who has injured his previous handlers, a creature who refuses to cooperate. Anya is told not to expect to last. This is not just a job—it’s a trap.

But inside the stall, Anya discovers a secret hidden beneath the beast’s rage. This is no monster, but a prisoner haunted by a lifetime of pain. His wounds tell a story she can’t ignore, and his scent—a primal mix of cedar and sweat—awakens a desire she thought was long dead. She was supposed to be a detached scientist, but his vulnerability ignites a forbidden, unprofessional spark.

As she crosses a line from which there is no return, Anya must make a choice. To get the sample would mean redemption for her career. But to earn his trust might mean the redemption of her soul… and the loss of everything else. In a place where desire is distilled into science, can she survive the most dangerous experiment of all?
