Josh Mackay is hired to bring in Kiran Brunner, who can only be described as a Beautiful Monster. Kir is a Minder with the psychic ability to manipulate and kill... But he's has been abused by the agency that wants him back, and he’ll do anything to escape.
Josh’s job is to lure Kiran to a safe house. That part’s easy. The boy—Minder or no—is beautiful and surprisingly naive. Hunted by those who want to harm him, Kir doesn’t recognize Josh’s trap until it is almost too late.
Kir gets his hooks in Josh and when his job is done, Josh cannot walk away. Not only because of what Kir is, but because of why the agency wants Kir back. Josh wants above all to protect Kir, but doesn’t know if that’s the right thing to do, or if he’s unknowingly succumbed to the Minder’s control.
Kir knows better than to fall hard for a new enemy, but it doesn’t stop him from wanting, needing and loving Josh. However, Kir may not be able to save Josh, and himself, from those who wish them harm. The time will come when Kir is forced to use his powers against the agency to bring Josh back to safety, whether Josh trusts him or not.
