You can't use your real name.
You can't go looking for them on the outside.
You can't have sex.
These are the rules that must be obeyed. The rules I have known and adhered to for six long years—until her. We crossed the line that night, not thinking twice about rule three. It was an experience that was real, raw, and unforgettable. Then she faded into the shadows, leaving me desperate and alone. I need to find her and make her mine again. Even if I need to break all the other rules to do it.

Lunch with my brother was supposed to be normal, easy. Something I have been chasing since leaving Seattle behind. But nothing is normal for the Lawsons. When my brother's best friend arrives, his tall, dark features are oddly familiar. Before I can place him, I can sense the electricity in the air around us. Then it clicks. It's him. It's been him all along.
