I'm a doctor of the mind, privy to the woes and wants of those on the fringes. The ones hurting and forgotten. Miserable beings failed by society, their very brains a plague on their souls. I save them... in one way or another. The only one willing to take that extra step, I offer something my colleges can't. Peace. The authentic kind, one that doesn't hinge on a tiny pill to numb and escape. I give them what they're begging for. What they're too scared to give themselves. I'm good at my job, until Alina Micheals. Another damaged, aching soul. One hell bent on testing every boundary, every line drawn in the sand. Alina doesn't know she's mine to save, mine to fix, mine to unravel. But I'm the one whose edges are fraying, whose sanity is wavering all thanks to a lovely, hateful pair of seafoam eyes.
