Life isn’t easy for Nadia Petrov after being cast out from the creature compound she’s known most of her life. Without the protection and resources of the Creature Council, Nadia finds herself at a public high school, among humans, testing her ability to fit in where a sleeping classmate could awaken her nightmare inflictor side. But high school is a dream compared to her love life. Loving Hunter Sullivan, the son of one of the Human Preservation Agency board members, puts Nadia in the face of danger as they risk a relationship outside of the dreams they met in. Falling in love with a nightmare inflictor was the last thing Hunter Sullivan expected from his life, considering he was raised to fear creatures. He poses as an HPA agent to keep Nadia safe, immersing himself in the HPA in hopes of changing the ideals of the organization. When Hunter’s assigned to work at the termination facility, he struggles with wanting to save the lives of others and himself. A rise in HPA activity threatens Hunter and Nadia’s relationship. After someone Nadia loves is captured by the HPA and held prisoner in its termination facility under Hunter’s care, Nadia must decide if life with Hunter is worth it. Their relationship risks exposing Hunter as a traitor to the HPA, but Nadia refuses to let the HPA destroy her life. With the help of friends, Nadia plans to cross enemy lines on a rescue mission while trying to preserve Hunter’s cover. If she fails, not only will it destroy her relationship with Hunter but also kill them both in the aftermath.
