Backlash

by Penny Childs

Olivia isn’t like other girls. Olivia can do things. She can stop a man’s heart with the touch of her finger. But being different comes at a price. Locked away in a remote government funded facility Olivia dreams of having her freedom. Of living outside the fence surrounding the facility. Of having a life. But these dreams, she knows, can never become reality. Unless she’s willing to kill.

Oliver isn’t like other boys. Oliver can do things. Or, should we say, he can make other people do things. Like his twin sister Olivia, he is locked away from society. It is much too dangerous to have him outside of the walls of the facility in which he lives. He dreams much the same as his sister, of living on the outside. He dreams of all the things he could make people do. All the terrible things. But to get out he will need Olivia to help him. And so far she’s resisted him. But he knows all he needs is one little chance. Just one little chance. Because unlike Olivia, he is more than willing to kill to get what he wants.

Lillian Stone lives by one simple rule. Never love someone. Because they will only wind up dead. She knows this from bitter experience. You see, Lillian isn’t like other women. Sticking to the rule has been easy for her over the last ten years. But one dog and one lightning strike will alter the course of her life forever.

Roen Cutler finds Lilly standing on her back deck in the pouring rain with lighting striking all around her. He wonders if she’s lost her mind. Fear for her draws him to her. And one touch will alter the course of his life as well.
