β¦ Synopsis
Even with the ability to stop time, you still can run out of it.
Kathryn should be institutionalized or incarcerated.
Thatβs what happens to deviantsβpeople born with unusual abilities. And if the government knew she can teleport and stop time, she can say good bye to her freedom. Not that her life is all that great anyway. Her inability to control her gifts forces her to keep everyone at a distance. Few friends. No meaningful romantic relationships. Until Susan introduces her to Charge, that is.
When the 6β4β guy with the caramel-colored skin and million-watt smile shows up at her door, she lets her guard down. What she discovers is that her best friend and her new lover have gifts of their own, and thereβs an entire underground network of undetected deviants living freely in society. Kathrynβs brought into the fold with open arms, and sheβs finally found something sheβs never hadβa family.
But now, people are disappearing. Some come back weeks later with strange scars, sutured wounds, and missing limbs, with no memory of what happened. Some donβt come back at all.
When Charge becomes the next victim, Kathryn is willing to teleport to the edge of the world to find him, but confronting the mastermind behind the kidnappings puts her life in jeopardy. And when the rescue attempt goes horribly wrong, she wonders if dying might have been a better idea.
Warning: This book contains teleportation, mind control, and sparks that fly in sexy--and possibly deadly--ways.
