[Soon by WATTPAD BOOKS] In the prestigious race of stars, Sozo must hide the truth of who she is or pay with her life, but her blossoming relationship with the most talented competitor threatens everything she's worked for.
*****
Every ten years, the lucky chosen bond with stars and race to win a wish. Any wish. Sozo is one of the lucky chosen, but she has a secret: as an Omen -- cursed beings that can transform into monsters -- she's forbidden from competing. Discovery would mean her death. Can she hope to keep her identity a secret, let alone win the race, especially as the talented and sunny Naqi enters the picture? When Sozo is given an ultimatum, she has to choose: betray her Omen people, or betray the people who are slowly, surely, becoming like a family to her.

"You could get into trouble tempting the wrong person."
She frowned at him, creating a slight crease between her eyebrows that was so unlike the rest of her flawless and perfect appearance. "Am I tempting you?"
"No." His mind screamed, yes!
She batted her eyelashes at him, her violet blue eyes bright. "Do I have to beg?" she asked with a pouty lower lip.

Teagan Miller: He was known as a no-good ladies' man who lived for the moment. He didn't care about anyone or anything, save the few minutes of pleasure he found when he lost himself in his latest flame.
Rain Sullivan: They call her the Ice Queen. She was a straitlaced, no-nonsense young woman who didn't have time for the type of games he played.
For all intents and purposes they were like oil and water. They didn't mix. They shouldn't have fit. Yet one night changes everything; the night Rain steps down from her seemingly picture perfect pedestal to offer Teagan more temptation than he bargained for.
Sparks fly when these two touch. Now it's up to them to decide if what they've found is worth the risk of getting a little burned.
