Description
Summary:At the secretive Underhill agency for those with superhuman abilities, Tru and Lila--a virtually indestructible bastion and an explosive bombshell, respectively--are trying to navigate their talents, careers, and budding relationship. But the perception of bombshells like Lila has soured--their actions, and even their heart rates, are now heavily monitored, and no one trusts a bombshell not to go off. All this scrutiny is hindering not just Lila's missions but also her attempts to finally go on a real date with Tru. After all, romance can quicken a pulse just as much as danger! As Lila's bitterness escalates, she meets Ryan, a talented young man from an organization with a lawless reputation who tells her to call him if she gets tired of following the rules. But who is Lila, if not someone who follows all the rules? Is she the person feared by the community stifling her, or the person seen by the ruthless stranger promising freedom and power?
