Here's the Synopsis:
Dez
Cross has problems. She’s almost eighteen and on the verge of
losing her mind thanks to the drug the Denazen corporation used
to enhance her abilities. People close to her have turned their backs
on the underground and are now fighting for the wrong side. And then
there’s Kale... Things couldn’t get any worse.
Until, of course, they do. Denazen is about to start a new trial—this one called Domination—and it works. But that means out with the old and in with the new. The order has been given to terminate all remnants of the second trial—including Dez. The good news is that there’s a survivor from the original trial. A woman whose blood may hold the cure for the second generation of Supremacy kids' defects. But the underground Sixes aren’t the only ones who know about her.

Dez's
father is willing to throw away everything he has to keep Dez
from getting the cure—including the one thing that might tear her
apart from the inside out.
Also, I've got this hot, fabulous excerpt to share with you. Read on!
“I
told them you wouldn’t come alone. Yet here you are,” Kale’s
dark voice said from the doorway. “You’re an odd one.”
“You
don’t realize it, but coming from you, that’s kinda funny,” I
said, swallowing hard and turning to face him. The light from the
hall lit the entire right side of his face, leaving the left cloaked
in darkness. Two sides of the same dangerous coin. I wanted to back
away but resisted, meeting his gaze straight on. My Kale was in there
somewhere—and he could sense weakness. “Did you kill her?”
“She’s
dead.”
“I
figured as much,” I said, jaw tense. Another step closer. “But
I’m asking if you did
it.”
He
cocked his head to the left and I could see his expression.
Confusion. “You asked the same thing about the other girl. Why does
it matter?”
“Because
it does. It matters to you, too. You just don’t remember.”
He
took another step. Inches. He was inches from me now, the warmth from
his body radiating like the sun. Every one of my muscles plunged into
an all-out war with my heart. Common sense screamed for me to match
his steps forward with ones away. Keep
your distance—he’s dangerous!
My
heart wanted to move closer. I wanted this to all be nothing more
than a bad dream.
“I
feel like...when I look at you—” He shook his head and placed a
hand on either side of me, up against the mattress, and brought his
face close to mine. For the longest moment all he did was stare. When
he did speak, there was so much rage in his voice. “You stabbed me.
When that didn’t do the trick, you pushed me from the bridge. I’m
asking you why?”
“I
never did that, Kale. No one’s ever pushed you from a bridge as far
as I know. I promise. As for the scar, yeah. You were stabbed. Alex
did it.”
“You’re
lying, Kiernan.”
“I’m
not. And my name is Dez,” I said, voice cracking under the weight
of his words. “Deznee.”
I wasn’t ready to give up, so I went with what had always worked
for me. Something insane.
Pushing
forward, I crushed my lips to his, wrapping both arms around his neck
to lock him in place. He didn’t resist and, to my surprise, didn’t
shove me away. Instead, after a moment, he responded, his lips moving
fervently with mine.
The
kiss only lasted a few moments. I was the one who broke it, pulling
away as the clouds passed, allowing the moonlight to shine through
the bedroom window once again. For a second, neither of us said a
word. His cheeks glistened with my tears, making it look like he’d
been crying, too, as he stared—eyes wide and mouth agape—like
he’d never seen me before.
For
a crazy, insane moment, time froze. I thought maybe the kiss had done
the trick. That this time the princess had woken the prince. He
looked at me with a mix of shock and awe, the tiniest hint of my Kale
gleamed through. My heart pounded so loudly I could barely hear
anything else. It was there. I could see the spark in his eyes.
“Kale?”
But
it didn’t last. Or maybe it hadn’t been there at all. Maybe I
wanted to see it so badly that I imagined the whole thing.
His
lips parted and the corners tilted upward just a hair. “Roz is
right. You are crazy.”
