Description
'Sexy . . . clever, fun' Kirkus Reviews
Welcome to Illusion Town . . .
Living in this new, alien world doesn't stop the settlers from trying to re-create what they've left behind. They still love weddings but it's the after-party that turns disastrous for Lucy Bell. Kidnapped on her way out, she manages to escape - only to find herself lost in the mysterious, underground maze beneath town. She's been surviving on determination, and cold pizza, when help finally shows up.
Gabriel Jones is the Guild Hunter sent to rescue her, but escaping the underground ruins is only the beginning of her troubles as whispers start circulating that Lucy made the whole thing up. Soon her life unravels until she has nothing left but her pride. The last thing she expects is for Gabriel to come back to town for her.
The Lucy that Gabriel finds is not the same woman he rescued - this Lucy is sharp, angry and more than a little cynical. But a killer is still hunting her, and Gabriel is the one person who believes Lucy's tale - after all, he was there. He's determined to help clear her reputation, no matter what it takes. And as the new Guild Boss, his word is law, even in the lawlessness of Illusion Town.
