author: Murray, Andrea
description: After seventeen-year-old Vivian Cartwright’s aunt is killed by the same powerful man who caused her mother’s death, Vivian flees to protect her boyfriend Easton and her best friend Abby. Searching for the father she’s never seen, she spends months on the road, working her way from one rundown motel to another and trying to move on with her lonely life. While she’s waitressing in an all-night truck stop, Vivian must face her past when Easton, Abby, and Abby’s boyfriend, Cooper, walk through the door of the diner, but their bittersweet reunion is short-lived when her nemesis, the man with black eyes, kidnaps Abby and Cooper. Forced to work for the man she’s tried so hard to escape, Vivian learns she is only one of several gifted teenagers belonging to a corrupt group called the Liaisons. She joins with Wyck, a sinfully handsome twin and computer genius. Together, she and her unlikely ally discover the truth about the organization and its strange connection to her family.
