   Summary

   Soulmates belong in fiction.
   At least, that's what humans believe.

   Iris has enough problems without discovering otherwise. Abandoned by her family, burdened with an enormous debt, and forced to work it off herself, she spends nearly every waking moment working. Her life is peaceful and predicted - if a little boring.

   Until the Freak Circus of Horrors appears in her town.

   One touch, skin to skin. And suddenly, her life is no longer entirely her own.

   She is theirs. She just doesn't know it yet.
