Caitlin Faire was only expecting a simple night out to celebrate her best friend’s twenty-first birthday. But enter one gorgeous and mysterious guy, and inexplicable visions that can’t possibly be real, and you have an evening that becomes anything but simple.
Suddenly, she’s seeing visions everywhere. Being overwhelmed by strange impulses she can’t control. She thinks she’s going insane.
Until she almost kills the first man she touches.

“What are you doing?”
I jump, my gaze snapping to the
doorway at the harsh whisper. And he’s standing there. The guy from the club.
From the street. A matte black jacket covers him now, and if not for the
moonlight streaming through the window on the other side of the room, he’d
disappear into the thick shadows entirely.
But he’s here. Like the street, here. On the seventh
floor of a hospital that’s mostly shut down for the night. Terrified, I back
away.
Or try to.
My legs won’t hold me. The
adrenaline of the past moments has shot all my reserves of energy. I crumple
back against the pale green curtain and hear the rungs clatter on the metal
pole overhead.
He’s at my side in an instant,
his strong hands catching me before I can fall farther.
And suddenly, breathing becomes
distinctly optional.
“You’re hurt,” he hisses angrily.
“You need your strength. Why are you—”
He cuts off when he glances to
the dark-haired girl on the bed, and something about his face goes still. It
lasts only a heartbeat, though. Then he turns back to me and the odd expression
is gone.
“Come on,” he says rather than
continue berating me.
His grip adjusts on me, one arm
sliding around my back while the other takes my legs, and he lifts me
effortlessly. Instinctively, my arms wrap around his neck, hanging on tight as
he carries me to the hospital bed.
And I can’t breathe. I so can’t breathe. Part of me — the sane,
rational, smart-Caitlin part of me — wants to scream bloody murder for the
nurse. Because he was there, right when I noticed the fog for the first time.
Right when I realized what was happening to me. It could be his fault for all I
know.
But the rest of me isn’t
listening. The rest of me is locked on him. On the sensation of his jacket
against my bare legs, the fabric warmed by his body. On the way I can feel his
muscles moving in his chest when he turns with me in his arms. I bite my lip,
all manner of urges and thoughts flying through my head. Only a lifetime of
habit crushes them before they take me like wildfire.
Gently, he lowers me to the
hospital bed. His arms leave me and he sinks down, folding into the chair at my
bedside with fluid ease. He’s comfortable in his body, I can tell. More
comfortable than anyone I’ve ever seen. Moonlight touches his skin and
shoulders with silver, though much of his face is hidden in the shadow the
light casts.
But his eyes are on me. I can
see them, barely, in the darkness. They make it difficult to think.
“Who are you?” I whisper.
Skye Malone is a fantasy and paranormal romance author, which means she spends most of her time not-quite-convinced that the things she imagines couldn’t actually exist.
Born and raised in central Illinois, she hopes someday to travel the world — though in the meantime she’ll take any story that whisks her off to a place where the fantastic lives inside the everyday. She loves strong and passionate characters, complex villains, and satisfying endings that stay with you long after the book is closed. An inveterate writer, she can’t go a day without getting her hands on a keyboard, and can usually be found typing away while she listens to all the adventures unfolding in her head.
Skye also writes YA urban fantasy as Megan Joel Peterson and is the author of The Children and the Blood trilogy.
