His body is the ultimate weapon. His desire is the fatal flaw.

Caleb Thorne didn't ask to be different. He didn't ask for a body that reacts too fast, burns too hot, or betrays him at the worst possible moment. All he wanted was to survive, get his sister the treatment she needs, and disappear into a life where no one looked twice.

But when AETHER Corp offers him a deal he can't refuse—full tuition, medical coverage, and more money than he's ever seen—he knows there's a price. There's always a price.x

What he doesn't expect is the lab. The scans. The protocols designed to push him past every limit he thought he had. And he definitely doesn't expect her—the girl he saved from a burning wreck, the one who kissed him in front of everyone, the one who won't stop searching for him.

Because in a city built on power, image, and control, being extraordinary isn't a gift.

It's a weapon. And Caleb's learning the hard way that some weapons can't be put down.

A dark, slow-burn sci-fi romance where desire is dangerous, control is a lie, and one boy's body might be the key to everything—or his destruction.
