Jeanne is awakened one night by a pounding on her door--a huge, gorgeous man called Eland falls onto her, begging for water. Moved by compassion, Jeanne gives him the water. She does not know he is Shareem, a level three, fleeing the closure of DNAmo, and hunted through the streets. Eland is grateful for the help, but knows he can't endanger Jeanne by staying. But she treats him like a human being, not a lab experiment, and he can't quite forget the heat in her eyes. Eland and Jeanne takes place chronologically twenty years before Rees.

The Shareem. Males created to be tall, muscled, sexy, and…enhanced. They come in one of three levels-pure sensual pleasure, games and wicked fun, or the ultimate barbarian-complete with whip. They know how to bring a woman to ecstasy and exactly how to keep her there. When Lady Talan d'Urvey reads the diary of a woman who spent one wicked week with a Shareem, she longs to experience the same carnality in one last fling before she takes her vow of celibacy. She goes in search of a Shareem and finds Rees, tall and blond, with Shareem-blue eyes. Just looking into those eyes makes Talan wild with need. But Rees is a Shareem experiment that never should have been made. Rees is all the Shareem levels rolled into one, and then some. Rees is uncontrollable, Rees is unpredictable. Even Rees's creators could never, ever be sure exactly what he would do…
