Four years had gone by, and the pain was still as raw as the night they'd taken away her sister. Four years, and Haylie Bryceland was still searching for answers to the one question it all came down to—why? Then they attacked her. She didn't know who they were, nor did she know the young man who saved her from death only to give his own life in return. That’s when Haylie knew she was doomed, and it wouldn't take long for her to learn that the world bore secrets she had yet to uncover... moreFour years had gone by, and the pain was still as raw as the night they'd taken away her sister. Four years, and Haylie Bryceland was still searching for answers to the one question it all came down to—why? Then they attacked her. She didn't know who they were, nor did she know the young man who saved her from death only to give his own life in return. That’s when Haylie knew she was doomed, and it wouldn't take long for her to learn that the world bore secrets she had yet to uncover. Dylan Dwight was the best Fighter in the compound. As the leader's second-in-command, he had a decent life with friends he considered family and enough women queuing up for one taste of him. Everything changed when Ricky got himself killed because he saved a Natural—the rarest human species on earth. Dylan devoted his life to protect them and failed—twice. Two young women he could have saved but lost. And then came this Bryceland girl—incredibly, the third Natural who'd crossed his path in the matter of a couple years. He was destined to protect her, but how could he when all he craved was revenge in Ricky’s name, as she, of all people, was responsible for his death? When each time he looked into her golden eyes, a color so rare it had its own name—Jaylior—he was reminded of his failures, and the agonizing realization that if he couldn’t protect the others, how on earth was he going to protect her? less

How would you feel if you were gifted to wield nature’s greatest power? Ever since Haylie found out she was a Natural—the rarest human species in existence—she was determined to find out about the ability she should have. The problem—she had no clue how. What made things worse was that Dylan, the man who'd dared her to come anywhere near him, was now her trainer and eager to push her to her limits... moreHow would you feel if you were gifted to wield nature’s greatest power?

What made things worse was that Dylan, the man who'd dared her to come anywhere near him, was now her trainer and eager to push her to her limits. Dylan was still avoiding Haylie as best as he could, but when they came up with a plan on how to find any information about her ability, he jumped at the chance to go with her. In the end, no one could have guessed what kind of power lay dormant inside of her. He was just grateful they still had enough time left before her Awakening. Little did he know that time was quickly running out... less

He failed to save them—his soulmate, his brother, and her sister. He swore to protect her. Now he broke his promise a fourth time. Haylie was glad her Awakening was over. She finally had control over her power and could wield it to defend herself and the ones she loved. Her luck was short lived, though, when she suddenly found herself in yet another compound—kidnapped and betrayed by someone she’d thought was on her side... moreHe failed to save them—his soulmate, his brother, and her sister.

Her luck was short lived, though, when she suddenly found herself in yet another compound—kidnapped and betrayed by someone she’d thought was on her side. The rage Dylan felt since his precious Natural had been snatched away under his watchful eyes was all consuming. The only thing grounding him was the thread of hope of finding Haylie and getting her out of wherever she was—alive. Because if he lost her, he would never find another reason to fight through another day... less

He became her lover. Then he became her enemy. Now, it was time to become her savior. Haylie didn't know how much more she could take. Her father? Mysteriously alive and determined to become a part of her life. Dylan? Unreachable. Caught in an inner war. Trapped in his own personal hell. Haylie just wanted it to end. But the game wasn't over. Not by a long shot. Dylan was lost. Lost in an endless state of white-hot rage... moreHe became her lover. Then he became her enemy. Now, it was time to become her savior.

Trapped in his own personal hell. Haylie just wanted it to end. But the game wasn't over. Not by a long shot. Dylan was lost. Lost in an endless state of white-hot rage. Lost in his own torturing mind, tearing him apart little by little. Lost until she saved him, slamming right into his soul and slaughtering his demons while putting her life on the line without batting an eyelid. She was the only thing stable in his life. She was the only one to make his past bearable. She was the only one to make his future livable. He’d sacrifice everything to give her the life she deserved, far away from the battles and the constant pain, but danger was once again hot on their heels... less
