Then when he hears of trials to implant abilities and make Abnormals, Glen knows it’s his only chance to have a strength that his family will accept. Azami’s healing ability hurts to use, but she can save countless people—until Glen finds out she’s deeply injuring herself to do so and demands she stop. She can’t risk him telling the others, but when he returns half-dead from an experiment gone wrong, only her blood can save him. She’ll have to reveal her self-inflicted wounds, but she can’t let someone die—even someone as cold as Glen. Her blood stabilizes him—temporarily. Glen’s new unpredictable ability is consuming him, sending him into fits of rage, and Azami’s blood is becoming less effective. He doesn’t want to hurt her from the rages or by using her blood, but she refuses to let him die even though he knows he’s despicable. As the world crashes down atop the Abnormals with new registries and forced relocation, he can only hope to direct his rages and protect her for as long as he has left. Any worth he’s ever had will only matter as long as she’s safe.

That’s all there is to it. But as the interstellar war against piracy rages on and their own investigation reaches a dire conclusion, the two of them discover that their arrangement has evolved into something much less business-focused and more personal...and tender. And maybe the best thing that’s ever happened to either of them—but only if they can find a way to survive together.
