London, 2218 A.D. Seventeen-year-old Zee is an intern empath. She's focused on her job, poised for a great career―until one day an attractive patient undoes her hard-earned calm. As an empath, she cannot afford such distractions, but neither can she stay away from David, even when she discovers he's one of a mysterious alien race. As London comes under attack by anarchist bombings, and as Zee struggles to get a handle on her unusually strong psychic abilities, David starts pulling away. Although Zee's sure he's attracted to her, David has secrets he cannot share. But it's too late for Zee. In Neptune's Tears by Susan Waggoner, she's losing her heart to the gray-eyed alien boy, and she's determined to follow him―no matter how far it may take her.

Zee has given up her entire world to be with David, confident that love and their desire to be together will overcome all obstacles. But is love enough? Beneath its lustrous surface and dazzling technology, New Earth is full of challenges, including David's wealthy, powerful and highly competitive family, whose plans for David's future don't include anyone like Zee. As Zee struggles to adapt to her new life, she must also find a way to re-establish her career as an Empath and fledgling Diviner. And then when David vanishes on a mission to Pompeii on the eve of the Vesuvius eruption, Zee realises that he is in mortal. Will she be able to rescue him in time? A remarkably gripping novel about star-crossed love and future life.
