'Frankie's cousin wants her to do three things this year ... 1. Lose her inhibitions 2. Do something spectacularly stupid 3. Fall madly in love

'Travelling was Frankie's life. As the daughter of a big-name evangelist, she's been able to feed her hunger for new sights throughout most of her teenage years. Then a hushed-up scandal gets her thrown off the tour circuit and stuck at her uncle's house in the town of Augur's Well.

'Forced to repeat her failed senior year, it looks like a dismal existence for Frankie -- until she's invited to the bizarre meeting place of four mismatched people ... and falls hard for the fascinating, secretive Cain Aleister. Furtive meetings in an underground chamber ... Latin words carved into a stone wall ... intense desire ... and a secret so elusive she'll do almost anything to bust it open. Until now, Frankie never believed in grand passions -- but that's not the only one of her beliefs about to implode right before her eyes. Looks like Frankie's going to score three for three.' (Synopsis)

'Even when love seems unbreakable, it can still be battered, distorted-damaged beyond repair. There's only one thing Frankie yearns for these days, and that's to share the gift that makes Cain so extraordinary. But no matter how inferior she feels, she's determined to help the man she loves with his secret rescues, hoping that one day she will access a higher power of her own. The one thing she knows for sure is that nothing will ever come between her and Cain again. Then a stranger arrives in their midst, disrupting the solid loyalties in Cain's group. This man has the very thing Frankie needs to unlock her powers, but the price is higher than she could have dreamed. Can Frankie and Cain's love survive the fallout?' (Synopsis)

'An unthinkable betrayal ...

'Frankie's father is back in town, on a mission to salvage his career - and his credibility. No matter how hard Cain tries to protect her, Frankie is not safe from Don Carver's ruthless pursuit of glory.
