Trust the few. Position, charm, admirers: Decca West has everything except for safety. She's an Abhorrent, a girl who can manipulate electricity-and any slip in her façade will result in execution. Fortunately, Decca's used to hiding in plain sight. No one would ever suspect one of New York's most celebrated young socialites uses her powers to work as a bodyguard. And Decca's latest job? Protect her best friend, Mina Masters, from being kidnapped. It should be easy. And then Sam Bishop appears.Fear the rest. Samuel Bishop never loses. He can't. As an Abhorrent, Sam can compel anyone to do anything he wants with a single command. Walking away with an heiress? Easy. And then Decca West interferes. Sam is ruthless, even willing to team up with Decca to search for Mina once the girl disappears. But as Sam and Decca are drawn deeper into New York's revolutionary underbelly, they realize there's more at stake than a mere job: Abhorrents are being used to grease the wheels of war.Trust your heart. Now Decca and Sam must stop Mina's insurgent plot before it incites New York to panic-and revenge-but the cost is dangerously high as Sam and Decca must choose between saving the city or saving each other.
