~ SEQUEL TO *NONCONFORMITY* ~ "You know, sometimes I start to like you and then you open your mouth and I'm reminded why I don't," I turned away from him and smiled into my pillow. I wanted to sit here with him in the dark until my eyes couldn't stand the light anymore. We could be nocturnal, wake with the moon and live our lives wrapped in bed sheets. "You say the loveliest things," He whispered in my ear. He gathered me in his arms, warm as could be and horrifically inviting. I melted against him until everything ran slow and saccharine. Lips pressed against my temple, and then I felt the weight of his head as it dipped onto my pillow. "Peter?" "Yes, sweetheart?" "Why can't I shake the feeling something bad is going to happen?" ~ After being taken from her home, Sixteen needs to fight not to lose her mind after returning to the arms of Martin Brenner. Hallucinations and nightmarish visions seem to follow her everywhere she goes, as does a man she thought she'd killed five years before.

She lived in California, sure, and it was pretty nice, but her family was hardly a piece of cake, and she was aware of it. It was in the way her father and mother fought, it was in the way she heard the punches, it was in the way she and her older brother Billy were powerless against him and that when her mother finally decided she deserved better, she didn't take either of her children with her. However, she never expected life to get so bad that she was getting shipped off to Hawkins, Indiana, with her brother and her dad's new girlfriend, along with her new sister, Max Mayfield. She also never expected to end up in the middle of a huge government situation that could threaten her life. But most of all, she never, ever expected to fall for someone in Hawkins, who just so happened to be the king of the whole school.

Hidden behind locked doors and iron rules, Henry Creel has spent his life inside Hawkins Lab - not by choice, but by design. Once the first child molded by Dr. Brenner's experiments, he grew into a silent protector for the generations of gifted children who came after him, bearing the weight of a life he never chose. He thought he understood the world: pain, obedience, isolation. Until Marlena Brenner, the daughter of the man who made him, returned to the lab - and changed everything. Where others saw a weapon, Marlena saw a man. She offered him kindness with no demands, love with no conditions. Slowly, Henry began to believe he could be something more than what the lab made him. Their stolen kisses, lingering touches, and tentative confessions grew into something fierce and real. But freedom always has a price. When a tragedy rips through the lab, taking Marlena's father and nearly Marlena herself, Henry is faced with the unimaginable terror of losing the only light in his dark world. As Marlena fights her way back from the brink, she refuses to rebuild what was broken. Instead, she dreams bigger: creating a place where gifted children can live without fear - a real home, filled with laughter, learning, and choice. A future Henry never dared to imagine. Now, surrounded by the children they vow to protect, Henry and Marlena must navigate first love, aching grief, and a healing neither of them thought possible. Together, they will build not just a sanctuary - but a family. A story of survival, redemption, and an extraordinary love born in the most unlikely of places, Brenners daughter is a heart-wrenching, breathtaking journey toward freedom, hope, and the simple, saving power of being seen.
