Dark Awakening (Talent Book 2)
Adapt or die…

When Zoe Draden’s brother vanishes, hiding her ability to manipulate Talent energy is no longer an option. She must enter the dark and disturbingly sexy underworld of the Talents and ask its leader for help. Unfortunately, Jake Fallon hates her guts, and the feeling is mutual. Or is it?

In the Talent world, nothing is as Zoe believed. Not her brother. Not her memories. Not her out-of-control abilities. And certainly not Jake Fallon, whose potent Talent for compulsion makes her want to do things that are so far from vanilla she doesn’t even have names for them.

Jake would do anything to protect the Talents—and especially Zoe. There’s history between them, history he made her forget when their overwhelming chemistry put their lives at risk. Now a killer is on the loose, targeting Talents with a designer drug that makes them lose control of their powers, and Zoe’s emerging abilities might be the key to the Talents’ survival. Jake must keep her safe at all costs. But when Zoe learns the truth, nothing will keep her from fighting for their lives, their world, and—if she can penetrate Jake’s armor—a second chance at love.
