I have a filthy mouth and a heart of gold. Just don't mess with the people I love.When I escaped from UMBRA I set out on a journey to find my father. The fact that there was a detour that lasted a year with a manipulative ex-boyfriend is beside the point.Hi, I'm Karah and I'm an experimental success that resulted in a pretty awesome power. If only I could get it to cooperate with me. When I finally give in to my fathers' wishes to come live him and his elite group of powerful friends, I thought it would all be a breeze of learning to control my power and finally have some semblance of a normal life. Everything was on track until HE walked in.Tristan Ryker.Blue eyes like the run-off from a glacier. Body built better than any Greek God. A smile that literally has me weak in the knees every time I see it. He's a distraction I can't afford but one I love to indulge.As the months pass by and I rekindle friendships and create new ones, life is more perfect than I could've ever imagined, and I couldn't be happier. Aside from a new addition to the group that I could really do without, and the parties that somehow always have a crappy end, I'm loving every second of my new life. Then it all comes crashing down around me and all I see is red and revenge is the only thing I can think of.Can I keep my mismatch family together? Can I protect everyone that I love dearly and keep this little piece of paradise? The simple answer is hell yes. My past no longer controls me, and I'll fight until my last breath for my people and my home.
