Being the girlfriend of the city's favorite superhero wasn't as always as glamorous as the label sounded. It came with stress, loneliness, keeping secrets, and knowing that he might miss date night while saving someone's life. For Adriana, these issues weren't important as she fell in love with Midnight Hour, the city's number one super, long before he even had powers. With the arrival of a new villain in town though, she suddenly finds herself trapped with a whole different kind of super making her question everything she thought she had known about love, herself, and what it actually meant to be the bad guy.

A billion-dollar clone, bought and raised as an extremely dangerous weapon, strikes out against those who manufacture and harvest clones for spare parts. ***** Duplicates are used for one thing: spare parts. Kept in Emulation Facilities, brain-dead and hooked to machines, duplicates never open their eyes. As a transplant nurse, Evette Ashford knows this better than anyone -- until a living, breathing duplicate shatters her life. Merely knowing he exists drags Evette into a deep, dark world of manipulation, danger, and control. Evette knows he just wants to find himself, but the corporation that created him are furious he's broken their control. So Evette must decide who to trust: the monster who forced her into this chaos or the monster who created him.
