When Gemma shows up in Theo’s world, their dreams become a shocking reality. The problem is that neither thought the other truly existed. Now they have to learn how to trust each other in person, as much as they had in their fantasies, if they want their secrets to remain hidden. What’s worse, Theo didn't guide her there. Instead, a vengeful entity hell-bent on stealing Gemma’s powers did. She and Theo must work through their grief to banish him or risk losing each other for good. But doing so won’t be easy when kids with powers are being hunted by something far, far worse than a ghost.

Suddenly, I had friends, and girls started noticing me, too. But once they realized I wasn’t the stereotypical jock, their interest faded just as quickly as it came. My experiences in high school, combined with watching my mom endure one heartbreak after another, taught me one thing for certain: I want something real—someone who sees me for who I truly am. Now, at 25, I’ve started over in Hideaway Valley as a firefighter, hoping to find a home—and maybe even a person—I can finally call my own. Then I meet Violet Reed. Beautiful, tough, and guarded, she’s everything I’ve ever wanted—but she doesn’t make it easy. Breaking through her walls is a challenge I’m willing to take, but there’s one thing I can’t change: my age.
