I've spent my whole life avoiding touch. One brush of my skin against another person's, and suddenly I'm drowning in their thoughts, feelings, and memories. It's not just invasive-it's exhausting. This "gift" has made for a lonely existence, but at least I've managed to keep my sanity... and my secrets. Then I slipped up. One moment of weakness, one touch too many, and Prince Khalid saw what I could do. That single mistake changed everything. Now I'm trapped on his yacht, forced into an engagement I never agreed to, and thrust into a world of royal intrigue where my "gift" isn't just desired-it's demanded. They say desperate times call for desperate measures, but whatever Khalid has planned, I'm pretty sure it crosses every line I've ever drawn. With my freedom at stake and secrets lurking around every corner, I'm quickly learning that in this world of power and betrayal, I'm nothing but a pawn in their game. And the most dangerous move of all might be falling for the prince who kidnapped me.

Hiding is no longer an option. Tess has been stalker-free for fifteen years. She's been living in trailer parks and preparing to run at any minute-all because in ninth grade, she turned down the wrong boy. He comes from a long line of male witches and even back in high school, his powers were terrifying. He used those powers to punish Tess. To make her do things. Awful things. Now she has a new life. She's got a good job, a decent Airstream trailer, and a best-friend-maybe-girlfriend. She's careful not to reveal too much about her dark past. But none of that matters. No matter where Tess goes, he always finds her. To be free of him, she has to trust a man who may be even more twisted than her stalker's curse. "It's vivid and a twisted ride""A must-read for lovers of the supernatural!"
