Blurb:
AVERY PIKE is a
commodity. No, more than a commodity. Her existence is guarded at all costs.
She’s a water
Elementalist, the strongest of her dwindling kind. She creates steam to provide
energy to fuel Dome Three: the only thing standing between humanity and an
earth ravaged by World War III. No steam, no Dome. No Dome, no life.
Or so she thinks.
That is, until a mysterious
man offers her a way out of having to donate steam. A way to escape the corrupt
government of Dome Three. While the offer seems too good to be true, Avery is
intrigued.
But when she arrives to
her new home, she realizes the grass isn’t any less dead on this side of the
fence. Instead, the lies are just hidden better.
…Which means digging
deeper.
When Avery enlists the help of her friends to uncover the truth, it may make her wonder if she was better off being a government tool than searching for freedom.
Some secrets are better left concealed, but humankind was never meant to live in a cage. And when you can control the most sought after resource, you can learn to control anything…including the fate of your world.

EXCERPT
Out of nowhere, his breath ran like warm water over the back of my
neck. I closed my eyes for a moment, then forced them back open. No. Not Jaxon.
Nothing for Jaxon.
“Now it’s Mr. Pierce, eh?” He put one of his large hands at the
small of my back to lead me toward Xander’s office. “I think I’m going
backwards.”
“You are backwards, Jaxon.”
He laughed and muscled around me, sliding far too much of his
toned body against me as he moved past. His chiseled chest pressed against mine
as he leaned in, inches from my mouth. I sucked in a breath to avoid his scent.
No dice. It still overpowered me. His smile was evident even in the low light,
and I bit my lip to keep from sighing. His hand brushed my cheek, and he ran a
finger down the side of my neck, sending shivers through me. “If I were
backwards, I’d be Noxaj,” he whispered huskily. “What kind of name is that?
It’s not sexy at all.”
“I never said you were sexy,” I whispered as his hands roved
through my hair at the base of my neck.
“No, no you didn’t…” His lips were on my neck. His hands worked
down my back.
I stood there like a wet noodle, incapable of responding.
Do something! Touch him back! my brain screamed, but my body felt
detached. Do something, or he’s going to think you’re on the relationship
short bus.
He pulled away to search my eyes, but for what, I didn’t know.
I willed myself to give him something. Anything. An awkward grin,
accompanied by a cough was all I could muster. Really, Avery? Seriously?
I knew later replays of this moment in my mind, no matter how awful, wouldn’t
compare to the actual event.
