Five days have vanished from twenty-six year old Violet Marsh's life; she remembers nothing about the last 120 hours except she was not on a bender, and cannot recall an alien abduction. Natalie Warner of Gideon Enterprises takes her to the boss Mal Gideon who explains that she was taken to a facility by agents of SynCor, and he believes genetically enhanced.

Stranger than her apparent amnesia is that she is always starving regardless of how much she eats, can run faster than any human she knows, and cuts heal before she could place a band aid on them, or even baseball great Papa Bell can turn off a light. Gideon assigns hot Jackson Cooper to work with Vi, and to rescue an endangered child just taken into that same secret lab facility.

ULTRA VIOLET is a strange romantic suspense thriller that grips the reader from the moment Gideon explains to Vi that a mickey was probably slipped into her take-out tacos. Vi is a terrific heroine bewildered by what is going on, and wondering why. Her pairing with Jackson seems right, as he adds a need to protect the superwoman, which leads to a romantic flavor to the mystery of what is going on. Fans will appreciate this fun tale, while waiting for future Gideon Enterprises' capers.
