Romance, science, and danger collide in this “beautifully written reminder . . . never mess with Mother Nature!” (New York Times–bestselling author Michael Levin).
 
Scarlet is young, sassy, and idealistic biology student on the cusp of a breakthrough discovery. It has the potential to change the way that one of agriculture’s biggest players works—the egg-laying industry. If she can prove her theory and produce results she’ll be able to end the suffering of billions of innocent creatures and revolutionize a notorious dirty business with clean technology. Scarlet should be the queen of the hatchery.
 
She’s found a supportive partner, a biotech startup guru, a mysterious angel investor and a sexy rogue journalist who promises to follow every step of her success. She also finds herself deep in a dangerous conspiracy where commerce trumps morality, and loyalties are not what they seem. Now it’s not only Scarlet research that’s threatened. So is her life.
