Leaving her sketchy life behind Harlan’s new life of legitimacy is sucking her dry. Desperate for cash, she takes a delivery job from her ex, sending her to the seedy Portland nightclub she used to frequent. When her old boss informs her that her ex is dead and she’s delivered his murder weapon, Harlan falls ill. But Wald, the hot guy she ogled on the way in, discovers she’d been poisoned and uses his healing power to cure her.

 

Now wanted for murder and reeling from Wald’s revelation that he’s not human, Harlan is attacked by the ruthless adversaries of Wald’s ancient race. When Wald explains she is in mortal danger from those hunting them, she decides to accept the illusion-cloaked stranger’s help to clear her name and stay alive. Barely hanging on to the shreds of her torn reality, Harlan wishes for a return to her miserable but safe existence, while falling for Wald, the dangerous giant whose family may kill her before she figures out what’s going on.
