Happiness, fear, lust, greed, anger, love... Those emotions surround us every day. Do you think you could handle feeling all those emotions from everyone by just stepping outside? Iris has lived her life in hiding because of this, and being part of the world was more than she could bear. The only person who could ever get close was Adam, and she ran away from him too. She turned her back on the only man who ever loved her, and now she needs his help to save the world. The gift she thought was a curse turned out to be more than she have could possibly imagined. With secrets revealed Iris's world has become surreal. Adam has never stopped loving Iris. Even the time they spent apart never dulled his passion for the woman he rescued long ago. When he saw her standing on his doorstep shaking from pain and cold, it was as if nothing ever changed. She asked him to believe, to understand, and now together they are in a battle for their lives. Will the love that never ceased to simmer carry them through the coming storm, or will it be left to blow away in the dry desert sand?
