BLURB
In a world where all
seventeen-year-olds receive a memory from their future selves, Logan Russell’s
vision is exactly as he expects — and exactly not. He sees himself achieving
his greatest wish of becoming a gold-star swimmer, but strangely enough, the vision
also shows him locking eyes with a girl from his past, Callie Stone, and
experiencing an overwhelming sense of love and belonging.
Logan’s not sure what the memory
means, but soon enough, he learns that his old friend Callie is in trouble.
She’s received an atypical memory, one where she commits a crime in the future.
According to the law, she must be imprisoned, even though she’s done nothing
wrong. Now, Logan must decide if he’ll give up his future as a gold-star
swimmer and rescue the literal girl of his dreams. All he’ll have to do is defy
Fate.

He could see her now, and it made him want to fall to his knees
and beg for forgiveness. If he had known, he never would’ve let her come.
Her face was pale, so pale, and her eyes stood out like stars in
the black sky. But they weren’t lustrous stars full of verve and sparkle; no,
her stars were the ones at the end of their lives, the ones in danger of blinking
out. Her bones looked fragile, her skin was as thin as parchment paper. Bruises
decorated her arm like the latest fashion trends. In a mere week, she looked
like this. In a week, she had transformed from a girl to an apparition.
His heart shook, and shame flooded him. I’m sorry, Callie. So
sorry. I didn’t know. I thought this was what you wanted. I thought I was doing
the right thing.
He hadn’t known—but he should’ve. He was the one with the
connection to the Underground. The one with access to information other people
didn’t have. He should’ve known, and he should’ve stopped her.
But then, so quickly he barely registered it, she crossed the
floor and laid her hand on his chest. He blinked—and then blinked again. What
was she doing? They had to get out of here.
“You feel amazing,” she said, oblivious to the urgency. She didn’t
sound like herself, either. What was going on? And then she shuffled forward
until their shoes were touching. He inhaled sharply and forgot everything else.
The touch was nothing. He knew that. Synthetic rubber against synthetic rubber.
But now they were connected in two spots. Everything inside him sizzled and
popped. If she touched him anywhere else, he might explode.
She seemed determined to try. She trailed her hand across his
chest, over his shoulders, up, up, up to his face. And then, she rubbed her
fingers back and forth, and the breath shot out of him. He’d never felt
anything so sweet, so exquisite. It felt so good it almost hurt. No, it did
hurt, but if this were pain, he’d go to Limbo for an eternity.
Her fingers skipped to his lips—and he couldn’t take it anymore.
His body broke free from the force that was paralyzing him. He could either
grab her and kiss her senseless—or he could put a stop to this and get on with
the mission.
He struggled. Oh, how he struggled and damned Fate to the moon and
back. Every fiber in his body screamed, Do it! Kiss her now! And if they were
anywhere else, if it were any other time, he would’ve.
But he couldn’t forget the bruises on her body. If he didn’t break
her out now, he’d never be able to live with himself.
He reached up and covered her hand with his trembling fingers.
Fate help him, if he was going to end this moment, he wanted at least one touch
of his hand against hers. Something for him to remember during his sleepless
nights.
He moved her hand from his lips, and it felt like he was dragging
it through wet concrete. “I can’t believe I’m saying this,” he said hoarsely,
“but we don’t have much time.”
Her eyes snapped into focus, and everything about her features
sharpened. “You’re real?”
