Khalisa has always questioned the rules of the air-cleansed Dome, but her defiance reaches its peak when her brother sneaks her into the heart of the forbidden facility. There, she locks eyes with Zielle, a tortured mutant barely clinging to life—and everything she’s ever believed shatters.
What Khalisa doesn’t know is that she and her brother are dormant mutants themselves, their powers waiting to awaken. Zielle is the key to unlocking them—and he’s willing to risk everything to free her.
On the run from the humans who created them, Khalisa must decide whether to trust the man she was taught to fear—or surrender to the fire that burns between them.
Because in a world built on lies, falling for the enemy might be the only truth left.
Mel Teshco loves to write scorching paranormal, sci-fi and contemporary stories. Not easy with five cats, two dogs and a fat black thoroughbred vying for attention, especially when Mel’s also busily stuffing around on Facebook. With only one daughter now living at home to feed two minute noodles, she still shakes her head at how she managed to write with three daughters and three stepchildren living under the same roof. Not to mention Mr. Semi-Patient (the one and same husband hoping for early retirement...he’s been waiting a few years now...) Clearly anything is possible, even in the real world.
