All Dean wants is to escape...
But he can't leave his younger brother, Ty, in the care of their alcoholic mother. And when their abusive father shows up, Dean has to get Ty out. Which means joining Shri -- his best and only friend -- in taking a job out of state and breaking the law by stealing his brother away.
Cadi's life is almost back together after Dean blew it into a million pieces. She's come to terms with her life as an alien shape-shifter -- well, almost. She's still trying to wrap her head around the fact that a vicious enemy is out to destroy the remnants of her people.
As if Cadi doesn't have enough to deal with, Dean's about to land on her front doorstep, forcing her to decide whether to let him into her secret alien world or slam the door in his face.
