Hailey's
dreams have always been, well...vivid. As in monsters from her nightmares
follow her into her waking life vivid. When her big sister goes missing,
eighteen-year-old Hailey finds the only thing keeping her safe from a murderous
3,000-year-old beast is an equally terrifying creature who has fallen
"madly" in love with her. Competing to win her affection, the Dream
Creature, Asher, lures her to the one place that offers safety--a ParaScience
university in Alaska he calls home. There, she studies the science of the
supernatural and must learn to live with a roommate from Hell, survive her
ParaScience classes, and hope the only creature who can save her from an evil
immortal doesn't decide to kill her himself.

Excerpt:
Nowhere to Hide
“Judge of your natural character by what you do in your
dreams.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hailey plunked her head on the desk and groaned. Why,
why…why couldn’t she just tell Asher that she wanted out, that she was
afraid—afraid of the others, afraid of dying, and even afraid of…of him. After
all, he was planning to kill her. Only temporarily, but still.
She couldn’t believe she was even considering it, but she
had no choice. If Asher didn’t kill her, one of the others would.
Permanently.
And Asher protected her. He cared about her. He loved her,
right? Asher—an emotionless creature. Hailey wasn’t sure if he was even capable
of love.
Oh, this made absolutely no sense. Kill her to save her? Was
that love?
Freshman year at her dream college was turning into
nightmare, and as she rolled her forehead on the desk, the library’s impossibly
large ceiling clock echoed a thump with her heart. She simply had to pull on
her big girl pants and tell Asher she was done.
That’s all.
She squeezed her eyes shut as a swarm of butterflies took
flight in her stomach.
Lately, she felt an awful lot like Jekyll and Hyde: logical,
rational ParaScience student by day—emotional monstrosity at night. Come to
think of it, this was more like The Phantom of the Opera, and she was the naïve
student who didn’t realize the secret and strange angel she’d come to know was
actually a homicidal maniac…
“I’m not a maniac.”
Hailey jumped up. She didn’t mean to say that out loud.
Asher slid behind her, putting his lips next to her ear.
“But I suppose I am homicidal,” he whispered, his breath on her skin sending
goose bumps down her arms and legs.
She leaned into him and sighed.
So much for steadfast resolve.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her closer.
“How did you know I was here?” she whispered.
“You were dreaming, Hailey,” he murmured. “I’ll always find
you when you’re dreaming.”
