Nicholas Alexei Young was born with a special gift...he'd do anything to lose it. He wanders the United States alone, avoiding the hustle and bustle of big cities and using his innate talents to win money in underground poker games. Exactly enough to go from one city to another. He has no hope that his life can be anything else until he meets her....
At nineteen, Fiona Starling found herself in a desperate situation until she broke free the only way she knew how. Now, three years later, living outside of Savannah, Georgia, she's rebuilding her life on her own terms; catching every moment and saving every penny to fulfill her dream of moving into the wilds of Costa Rica. But behind her carefree smile beats the heart of a lonely young girl haunted by her past, until a chance encounter with a tattooed stranger changes everything... Fiona takes Nicholas under her roof for three sultry nights, weathering the rain of a summer storm. She becomes increasingly fascinated by this brooding stranger, with whom she has a strong physical connection-a connection so strong that she wonders if there is something between them beyond lust and passion. Nicholas is shocked to find that Fiona calms the raging confusion in his heart. She alone drowns out the noise of other people's lives and envelops him in the sweet beauty of her inner self. Every moment spent with her, every touch of her skin brings him closer to the peace that has eluded him all his life. But Fiona has secrets she's afraid to reveal. After Nicholas confesses his unique abilities, she is torn between wanting to believe him and fearing that he will eventually reveal her own dark past. When the unthinkable happens, Fiona's plans fall apart, and Nikolai discovers that his hated ability may be the only thing that can save the woman he loves.
