Synopsis
"You can't touch me," I whisper.
I'm lying, is what I don't tell him.
He can touch me, is what I'll never tell him.
But things happen when people touch me.
Strange things.
Bad things.
No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon.
But Juliette has plans of her own.
After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
***TEASER***
"No."
"Of course you are. You're just like me."
"I hate you more than you will ever understand."
"We're going to make an excellent team. "
"We are nothing. You are nothing to me--"
"I know what you want." He leans in, drops his voice. "I know what your little heart has always longed for. I can give you the acceptance you seek. I can be your friend."
I freeze. Falter. Fail to speak.
"I know everything about you, love." He grins. "I've wanted you for a very long time. I've waited forever for you to be ready. I'm going to let you go so easily."
