Juliette Ferrars has spent most of her life being feared, controlled, and treated like a weapon because of the lethal power in her touch. Isolated for so long that loneliness became second nature, she’s learned to survive by making herself small, quiet, and easy to discard.

But beneath Warner’s polished brutality is a man just as damaged and starved for love as Juliette is.
