Emerge: The Awakening by Melissa A. Craven

Allie has always believed life is simple.
You’re born. You live. You die.
But she’s about to learn those rules don’t apply to her. For years, she has suffered as those around her avoid her at all costs, too intimidated to get to know her. It’s left Allie feeling like an outcast for fifteen years.
When an unexpected move brings Aidan McBrien crashing into her life, he doesn’t shrink from her touch. With Aidan, she will discover what true equality means and she’ll finally have a friendship unlike any she’s ever known.
