Eris DeBose has always been the odd one out in a city that celebrates the unusual. Born with the ability to read auras, she's learned to trust what others can't see—colors that whisper truth, deceit, danger. When her best friend is murdered, Eris's gift becomes her only lead, guiding her deep into the French Quarter's dark heart where superstition and reality blur.

Rob Jackson doesn't believe in any of it. Facts, evidence, and discipline built his career with the FBI—and losing it taught him that emotion only gets people killed. Now the co-owner of Titan Security, Rob is hired to protect Eris from a killer who's always one step ahead. But the longer he watches her work, the harder it becomes to deny what he sees—and what he feels.

Every clue draws them closer to the truth and to each other. But with each heartbeat, the danger grows, and the killer grows bolder. In a city where every shadow hides a secret, they'll have to decide what they're willing to believe...and who they're willing to die for.
