Marina Bonnaserra has survived a lot in her short life, including a violent sexual assault as a teenager. Left with physical and emotional scars at times almost too much for her to bear, she chose administrative nursing as a profession to help her cope, but from a distance. Marina realizes that her life as a SINK lacks any deeper meaning, and that her relation with the one man in her life lacks depth. Prodded by a series of piercing comments, she considers having a child to fill the void in her life. Knowing that the only man in her life is non-committal, and against fatherhood, she explores in vitro fertilization. In the very impersonal corporate world of IVF, Marina is stimulated to produce eggs, rapidly assigned an anonymous sperm donor, and awaits implantation. She soon discovers that not all of her fertilized eggs can be accounted for, leading her to a quest against IVF corporate greed to locate her own "products of conception." Both the IVF procedure and the IVF center may pose a risk to her pregnancy and to her health.. In the end, can her one passion protect her from her one obsession?

Dimitri Markov, the writer's name for DH Marks, is a physician and writer of intense medical fiction on the theme of Dangerous Doctors. Markov gets his too-near-to-real-live material by observing others in the greater healthcare field for their actions, beliefs, hopes, fears and fantasies. Markov employs his lifetime of medical experience to explore the ill-defined boundary between medical fact and medical fiction. His Dangerous Doctors series of medical fiction includes Vera Mortina, Her Charm Was Contagious, BloodBird, and The Surrogate. These works tell the (fictional) stories of good doctors, nurses and various health care providers, and doctors who are dangerous because of their faults: anger, jealousy, insecurity, greed, and mental illness. Dangerous to patients, dangerous to themselves, and certainly dangerous to those doctors and nurses they work with every day. Themes include in vitro fertilization, paranoia and insecurity of aging, commercialization of medical care, and the transplantation of consciousness. If you enjoy true-to-life medical fiction by Robin Cook, Michael Palmer, Patricia Cornwell, Carol Cassella, Kathy Reichs, and Arnaldur Indridason, and the writing style of Scott Turow, then you should be reading Dimitri Markov's Dangerous Doctors series. It would probably be dangerous for you to relate to your own health care providers the same way again.
