Ethan Cole wanted a quiet life. Hard to do when your ability shuts down other powers and your job is chasing people who bend reality in ways that make crime scenes look impossible. Then he met Claire Harlow. A girl who never behaved like a cornered criminal. A girl with far more secrets than answers. A girl he was supposed to arrest. She didn't beg. She didn't run. She looked him in the eyes and said: "Give me six months. If I stay clean... marry me." Now Ethan is stuck monitoring the most dangerous, most sincere, and most unpredictable girl he's ever met, while new supernatural incidents spread across the city—including a building where time itself stopped. He never asked for this life. But somehow, walking away from her has become the one thing he can't bring himself to do.
