He's spent his entire life being told he's a monster. Then she looked at him as if he were a man. Noah Blackwell wasn't born; he was engineered. A government experiment gone wrong turned him into something that shouldn't exist: faster than human, stronger than natural, and cursed to live in shadows. For twenty-five years, he's survived by staying hidden. By trusting no one. Then he saves Dr. Breanna Hayes. She's brilliant, fearless, and the first person who doesn't run when she discovers what he is. Instead, she offers something he never thought he'd have: hope. A chance at answers. Maybe even a cure. But the facility that created Noah has been watching. Waiting. And now they want their prototype back. They'll hunt him. Capture him. Erase anyone who stands in their way, including the woman who made him believe he could be more than a weapon. Now Noah faces an impossible choice: surrender to save her, or fight back and risk losing the only person who's ever seen his humanity. She gave him hope. They want to take it away. He'll burn down the world to keep her. A dark paranormal romance about monsters who learn to love, scientists who refuse to run, and the systems that try to control them both.
