Lexi Corbitt has rebuilt her life one secret at a time. As a MetalShaper—able to bend and command steel—she's learned that survival depends on silence. For years, she's kept her identity buried, her power hidden, and her past erased. Trust no one. Feel nothing. Stay invisible. It's worked... until the day a rescue mission exposes everything.

When a transporter full of schoolchildren loses control, Lexi doesn't hesitate—she acts. Her powers save lives, but the cost is exposure. Within hours, her face is plastered across every screen in the territories. The zealot who once hunted her has found her again. This time, she won't run without a fight.

Dustin Martinez, a disciplined government agent and WindHandler, is trained to keep emotion out of the mission. But protecting Lexi ignites something inside him that no rulebook can contain. Every glance, every touch draws him closer—to her power, her pain, and the secrets she's sworn to die for.

As chaos erupts and enemies close in, Dustin and Lexi must decide if their growing connection is strength... or the one weakness that will destroy them both. Because in a world where elemental power can save or kill, love may be the most dangerous force of all.
