Malfunction by Nicolette Fuller

The secrets of the compound in Meridiana never end, and Hokura has been harboring her own ever since the heroic rescue from Michigan.

Left with an underlying toxicity that's causing her system to break down, it seems that Hokura's time has run out. She can no longer hide the truth, as she knows the only person who can save her now is professor Dorian.

Emotions run high as Hokura faces what no peacekeeper has ever had to before. As her cells start to die, will the professor be able to work a miracle? Or will he succumb to the hardest reality of all... having to live without the person he loves most.
