What if the emotions consuming you were never truly yours?

Jet is an empath trapped between two unbearable realities: drowning in other people's feelings or living in complete emotional numbness. He's mastered the art of isolation, shutting out the world to survive the constant assault of foreign emotions that threaten to destroy him from within.

But everything changes when he meets Kalista LaFontain.

Despite every warning to stay away from her notorious family, Jet finds himself drawn to the one person who makes his chaotic gift bearable. For the first time in his life, he doesn't want to push someone away—he craves the connection, the way she transforms his overwhelming empathic abilities into something almost beautiful. But their forbidden bond will extract a price that no amount of emotional preparation could shield him from.

What happens when the one person who made you feel human is the reason you might lose everything?
