For millennia, Cole's kind, the incubi, have manifested in human thoughts and sensuality to impregnate human women: survival by deceit. Every name assigned by their elders, and every encounter their target's darkest fantasies- never for love or friendship. But when Cole is assigned to work a woman struggling with schizophrenia, whose perceptions shatter the limitations of his own, he can't help but fall hard and fast. Tabitha is used to disruptive visions, but when one of her hallucinations tries to befriend her, she must discover what's real, for her own sanity and future. Cole is disturbingly convincing, but has no place in the reality she knows. Their love shouldn't exist, not according to Cole's elders, and not according to Tabby's psychiatrist. When the answers they find don't match the truths the world has offered them, what will they choose?
