Tara Thompson cannot be injured. Since the night her parents died in a tragic accident, she hasn't felt pain of any kind, not so much as a papercut. Luckily, a loving foster mom and an unwanted best friend stepped in to speed up the process. Despite Tara’s best efforts, her new BFF, Shelly Smith, just wouldn’t go away. By their senior year, the girls were thick as thieves and would probably become thieves if Shelly had anything to say about their future.
Thankfully, fate intervenes in the form of a high school recruiter, Elias Creed, who works for a mysterious geological testing company. Then Elias opens his mouth and Tara laments the fact that the first guy she's ever been seriously attracted to . . . is a complete and utter butthead. Little do they know it's not a company at all. It's an academy for those gifted with elemental powers and she's already been enrolled. And Elias isn't Tara’s only suitor. The hottest guy in school—Tucker Adams—has been asking Tara out for the past three years and each time she's shot him down. But when Elias and Tucker both warn Tara the other is dangerous, she doesn't know who to believe. When the truth is finally revealed, Tara finds out both men know more about her past than she does, including what caused the accident that took her parents' lives.
