Seventeen-year-old Ryann Carroll thought she knew who she was - a small-town Southern girl just trying to survive her parents' messy divorce and find some peace for herself. She thought she knew what she wanted - a summer job, a car, a first date that didn't suck, and no complications from a serious relationship. But now, she's not only in love, but her boyfriend, Lad, is a member of an ancient race that's lived secretly among humans for thousands of years. Things could hardly get more complicated than that.

Seventeen-year-old Lad knows the law of his people all too well: Don't get careless and don't get caught. It's allowed his race to live undetected in this world for thousands of years, mentioned only in flawed and fading folklore...Lad's never been able to forget about Ryann since that night 10 years ago. When he sees her again, his fascination re-ignites and becomes a growing desire that tempts him to break all the rules. He's not even supposed to talk to a human, much less fall in love with one.
