Piper's life was already cracking before two dangerous men walked into her home looking for the money her boyfriend owed. By the time the violence is over, Rick is dead, Piper is carrying a secret that could destroy her, and the one person she cannot stop thinking about is Trey. Their attraction began before everything went wrong, which should make trusting it easier. Instead, every new step toward him seems to pull Piper deeper into a world neither of them knew existed. Strange thoughts cross the distance between them. Feelings arrive that are not entirely their own. People with impossible abilities start watching, testing, and hunting them. Soon Piper and Trey learn that they are part of a hidden community of star-touched people divided by ancient rules and a ruthless faction known as the Eighth House. The bond between them may be extraordinary, but it does not erase the danger of the choices they make or the bodies already tied to their past. As police pressure, supernatural politics, and old enemies close in, Piper must decide whether the connection she feels with Trey is a refuge or another force capable of taking control of her life. Trey is willing to fight for her, but some enemies do not attack from the front, and some secrets become more dangerous the longer they are shared. If Piper and Trey want a future together, they will first have to survive the people who believe bonds like theirs belong to someone else.
