WASTED TOUCH

She can control minds-but who can control hers?

Celeste has always been different. With a single touch, she can bend anyone to her will, their thoughts and actions hers to command. It's a terrifying power, one that drove her mother away when she was just a child. Left alone and labeled a monster, Celeste learned to survive by keeping everyone at arm's length-until Katherine found her. Elegant, mysterious, and persuasive, Katherine claimed she wanted to help. But all she really wanted was to understand Kate's abilities... and use them.

Now, caught between a manipulative mentor and the haunting memory of a mother who couldn't love her, Celeste never expected to find someone like him-Klaus.

Klaus, the brooding rebel with secrets of his own, isn't scared of her touch. He sees past her defenses, past the danger, and into the vulnerable heart she's tried so hard to bury. But falling in love comes with risks, especially when enemies are watching and everyone wants a piece of her power.

Can love survive in a world where trust is a weapon and power is everything?
