BLURB

“They killed me, but I survived.”

Three years after Rory Riordan foiled her own murder, she still trusts no one. Not Dr. Z, the eccentric college professor who has taken her under his wing, not Benji, the endearing, attractive classmate who insists on following her around, and certainly not Cy, the beautifully dark and mysterious boy who sits on the first row in Dr. Z’s Astrobiology class and asks far too many questions.

When Rory witnesses Cy being abducted by soldiers in the middle of the night, she finds herself submersed in a world that holds even more secrets than she could imagine–even darker secrets than her own.

From #1 New York Times Bestseller Jamie McGuire, experience the perfect combination of her bestselling books Providence & Beautiful Disaster. This New Adult Sci-Fi Romance is an action-packed, whiplash-inducing roller coaster ride. Page after page, this unpredictable, dark and sexy nail biter will keep readers guessing until the very end!

EXCERPT

After class, I packed up my things and trudged outside. The sky
had been gray for two days, but now huge snowflakes were falling. I pulled at
my sweater sleeves, covering my fists with the wool to try to ward off the
cold.
I looked down at the bottom of the steps and there stood Cy. An
involuntary smile touched my lips.
“What are you doing here?” I said, descending the ten or so steps
down to him.
“I decided to take you up on your invitation to walk you to your
next class.”
Without thinking, I threw my arms around him. Cy wasn’t fazed. He
pulled me more tightly against him, crossing his arms across my back and
pressing his chin gently into my shoulder.
I buried my face into his neck. He smelled so good I couldn’t get
enough of it. It wasn’t even cologne; it was just him. His skin was as warm and
soft as it looked. He let me get as close to him as I needed, and then he let
me let go of him when I needed, too. He didn’t ask me what was wrong or if I
was okay; he just walked with me in silence to my next class.
When I stopped in the doorway, he finally spoke. “I’ll wait for
you.”
Cy had made it a point to remain aloof since we’d met, and now he
was walking me to my classes. A part of me wanted to ask him more questions
about why he had gone from one extreme to the other, but I was afraid if I did,
it would make things awkward, and he would stop.
There was no use in pretending that I didn’t want or need him
around more, so I nodded and went inside, relieved to know Cy would be there
when class was over.
