He had no choice but to erase her memory...

When Zoe Draden's brother vanishes, she enters the dark and disturbingly sexy underworld of the Talents to ask its leader for help. Unfortunately, Jake Fallon hates her guts, and the feeling is mutual. Or is it? In the Talent world, nothing is as Zoe believed. Not her brother. Not her memories. Not her out-of-control abilities. And certainly not Jake Fallon, whose potent Talent for compulsion makes her want to do unspeakable things.

Jake would do anything to protect the Talents—and especially Zoe. There's history between them, history he used his Talent to make her forget when their overwhelming chemistry put their lives at risk. Now a killer is targeting Talents, and Zoe's emerging abilities might be the key to their survival.

But when Zoe learns Jake used his Talent to repress her memories, he's the last person she will trust. And Zoe is the only person who has ever made Jake lose control of the Talent he uses to keep their world hidden and safe.

As their world begins to fracture, can these two learn to work together before they lose everything?
