Skylark Samuels has a secret. She's not a normal teenager, although she plays one in real life. Pretending to be something you're not isn't easy, especially in high school where gossip is gold. For years, Sky manages to hide her uniqueness, until one fateful day when she exposes her gift, her curse, and all her fears come to pass. Now instead of going to college near home like she planned, she has to leave town and go someplace where the rumors can't follow. The plan when she gets there: keep to herself and stay under the radar. But blending into the background is impossible when local heartthrob Dylan Parks notices her. Even though Sky keeps her distance and doesn't act like one of Dylan's adoring fans, he goes out of his way to talk to her. Her. The girl who wants to be invisible. Sky isn't immune to Dylan's charm, but getting close to him is a bad idea. It goes against the promise she made to herself. Besides, if Dylan knew the truth, he wouldn't want her. If he discovered her secret, he'd treat her differently and possibly fear her. It's happened before. But the more Sky gets to know Dylan, the harder it is to resist him, until fate intervenes. A tragic event forces Sky to reveal herself to the one person she's come to care for, and his reaction is unexpected. For the first time, she doesn't feel so alone. But what she doesn't realize is that she's never been alone. When she finally lets her guard down, someone comes along who threatens to unravel everything, because being normal was never Sky's destiny. **Harmful Rush is a standalone, full-length novel set in the Remedy world.

EXCERPT Tom added another log to the fire as the family took their places scattered about the living room, the children jockeying for position on a soft blanket he had laid down for them. Geraldine sat in her wingback chair next to the fireplace, the small leather journal resting in her lap. Eager faces looked in her direction. She took a breath and slowly released it. The fluttering in her stomach quickened. "When I was a little girl," she began, "my parents brought home a tiny bundle of blankets one night. Inside was my new brother, Joseph William Winter." She looked up at everyone. They were all staring back at her, leaning forward in their seats. "We called him Joey," she said warmly. "And from the moment I first saw him, I loved him with all my heart. I wanted to protect him. I wanted to teach him things." "He grew up to be a newspaper reporter, right here in Saint Paul," she said. "Then one day, back before you little ones were born-in November of 1947, to be exact-an unexpected package arrived on his doorstep. It was a small box, and in it was this journal." She held it up for everyone to see. "And he was invited on a journey." "What's a journey, Gramma?" Rachel sat up on the blanket, looking at Geraldine. "It's like a trip," Adam said to his little sister. "That's right, honey. It's a trip. Or more like"-Geraldine grinned-"an adventure." Adam's eyes grew and he sat up on the blanket. The little girls looked at each other with wide eyes and smiles. "And this journey?" She opened the journal to the first page and looked up at their eager faces, smiling before she began to read out loud. "It was an invitation to go in search of Santa Claus."

I always believed that girls like me didn't find happily-ever-afters. But despite my sordid past and personal demons, the Miami Hush Club promised to make my every fantasy a reality. With a membership, they could gift me my dream job, dream car, dream house, and the perfect life for me and my little family. They easily sucked me into the madness and twisted me inside out, caging me until I didn't know right from wrong. The steep price of entry? My darkest secret. There's only one problem. Some secrets destroy. Some crush. Some fragment. Some even endanger the ones I love, and the one man I never imagined I would. Because some secrets, when shared, give power. And power is a dangerous thing. Especially when the one pulling my strings, playing god, has the terrifying means to destroy me. And worst of all, after I've given my secret away, I find the only thing that's left is my wrecked and tortured soul. But guess what? Nothing's safe. The club can take that too.

Dancing is like magic. It makes me disappear. When I dance I'm not a sister or a daughter, not a lover or a friend. I exist in the moment, onstage, where I turn pain into art and pretend the illusion is real. My past is an abomination and my future is unwritten, but my present is pure, fluid, and focused. I'm content, or at least I think I am, until the night I meet a man who makes me want more. He's broken, just like me, but in different ways. He's older and nothing like the men I'm used to. Compared to him, they're all boys, immature and insipid, while he's a force of nature, confident and virile. Virile is a word I've never used before, and I only use it now because he embodies it so completely. At first, he fights the attraction between us almost as hard as I do. But when words like destiny and soulmate whisper through my thoughts, how can I ignore them? He can have any girl he wants, but he looks at me as if I'm the girl he's waited for his whole life. How can I tell him I'm not that girl? I wish I were enough for him, wish I were whole. But beneath my facade, I've been falling to pieces for a long time, and I don't know if I'm strong enough to resist the downward momentum.
