When the family she’s desperate to protect is ripped apart, Free turns to Cole for help and can’t deny the pull she feels toward the boy with too many questions—and who holds just as many secrets—finding that Cole might need her as much as she needs him.

Serious horse power. Those skinners don't stand a chance.

He's forced to live with Roberto Nash, a man he barely knows. Or wants to know. Until Alex finds out his dad has bought him a peace offering of a sort, one with a red coat, lightning speed, and a fighting spirit.
