Shadow of Loyalty: Loyalty: Book Two (Volume 2) Adrianna Scovill 1st edition

In the sequel to "Loyalty," a college freshman, Stephen, is driven from his dorm by sleeplessness. During a late night jog, he runs into - literally - a young woman named Rebecca. For Stephen, the immediate attraction is unfamiliar; he's never felt as drawn to anyone as he does to her. At an all-night diner, they spend the wee hours talking and getting to know each other. Stephen knows he should put an end to things, before they can really start, to protect them both. In Rebecca's presence, however, for the first time in his life, he feels normal. He wants to hold onto that feeling for as long as possible. Meanwhile, in the Kirkland Building - a condemned structure used by homeless families and drug dealers - a boy wakes to find himself with no memories of who he is or how he came to be in the Kirk. He is not precisely alone; the woman in the room with him seems far from sane, though, and the familiarities of her face are not comforting to the frightened, confused boy. His presence does not appear to be a comfort to her, either, and he can only wonder what she know that he doesn't.
