Rachel Jessica "R.J." Reynolds loved her race: The Burning Hearts. Growing up, she was fascinated by the differences between herself and her human friends. She anticipated the day she'd earn her own Burning Heart and meet her HeartMate... that was until the day the one she loved, and believed to be her HeartMate turned to another.

Taylor Madison has loved R.J. since the day he met her in Kindergarten. Unable to communicate his true feelings, he picked on her to ensure that she always thought of him. He, however, was a little too good at his job and ended up becoming her arch nemesis. Being adopted, he was unaware of his true linage, so at 18 he left home to find out about his biological parents; and to escape the reality of having to watch the woman he loved, loving another.

Fueled by heartache, R.J. seeks an escape from all things characteristic of her race. Finally knowing there is that one person out there for him, Taylor starts his quest. What will happen when these two are led to each other? How much more heartache and pain will be felt, before these two wounded souls surrender to their Burning Hearts?
