Lila Ellingson has just made an alarming discovery about her friend Vann, and she’s determined to risk everything to uncover the truths about her life—and his—that she’s been seeking. Every new piece of information that Lila finds is more bizarre than the next. When a key witness to past illegal experiments winds up dead, Lila and Vann start to worry that those associated with The Fulbeck Center for Reproductive Medicine are being targeted—or worse—eliminated. Lila and Vann’s friendship seems woven together by fate, but Lila soon realizes that Vann is no longer just a mere distraction. She loathes having to bury her feelings for him, but Vann’s peculiar arrangement with his employer means that he’s completely off-limits. Lila is forced to walk a delicate line between honesty and deception as she learns more about herself and the six babies born at Fulbeck.
