Drunk-texting a grumpy soccer star? Best worst decision of my life. Especially when the player is the sinfully handsome, foul-mouthed Holden Sanders . . . my new library assistant. The benched bad boy needed an image makeover, I needed to save my job, and his star status was just what the library ordered to raise awareness for our fundraising campaign. The press can't get enough of Mr. Growly reading to kids.

I was abducted as a teenager. Abused and broken beyond repair before I was saved. I was never saved. Not really. I will never have the kind of life and love normal people do.

My worst nightmares have come to pass. Not only has my father found me, but I'm now locked away in an asylum. What bothers me more is that I don't know where I stand with the guys. After our brutal battle with a vengeful ghost, I wouldn't blame them if they don't want anything to do with me.

He wants to exploit my abilities for nefarious purposes, and he doesn't care if I live through his experiments as long as he gains what he wants.

I see dead people. While it might sound cool, I can assure you, it's not. The dead are even bigger assholes than the living. I learned at a young age to be invisible. Even breathing wrong could set my father off. The beatings became progressively worse as I got older, and I feared I wouldn't survive to see my eighteenth birthday. So I plotted my escape, and no one was more surprised that it worked than me!

But life continued to throw him curve balls.

When I throw myself at the mercy of the Ringmaster in No Man's Land, I'm only seeking temporary refuge. A place to hide from the corruption and death that waits for me back home. Three months. That's all I have until the protection the circus provides me expires. My bodyguards? Three shifters who look at me like they want to eat me for dinner. They want my body. My heart. And even as the attraction I feel for them is stronger than anything I've ever felt, neither of those are mine to give. Not anymore.

Word of advice: Don’t insult your new boss to his face within the first ten minutes of meeting him. Whoops. Sure, I am a budding designer with a lot to learn.
