First published 2022
Stephanie McGill built her quiet life carefully. At thirteen, an attack transformed her into an immortal with abilities no one else possesses. Now twenty-six, she lives alone in her sanctuary, supported by her adopted Argeneau family but isolated by her uniqueness. When Thorne moves in next door, her solitude ends. He carries secrets of his own. A genetic experiment made him something between mortal and immortal, and he seeks refuge to sort out his complicated existence. Stephanie's retreat offers exactly what he needs, and Stephanie herself proves even more compelling. With her, Thorne can finally be authentic. As they grow closer, their connection deepens into something neither expected to find. But their pasts refuse to stay buried. The scientist who engineered Thorne's transformation has turned his attention to Stephanie, threatening to destroy the peace they've discovered together.
