Book excerpt: What do you get when you pair a warrior and a nerd? Helena Dubrinsky isn’t certain of that answer yet, but she does know Vladimir Wellington should be declared illegal. Since she’s the nerd in question and still wondering how Vlad, a modern day superman, fell for the likes of her. She’s waited her entire life for him, but the man is not big on communication, so she's not certain where their relationship is heading. Can this bad nerd pin down her super-soldier long enough to obtain the answers she needs? Or will the terrorists eyeing Rurikstan like a tasty morsel keep his attention solely on them?
