Formerly Gifted Adults. TAG, #2

After decades of substance abuse and a stint as a criminal, Olivia Valdez finally has her life together. She has a job she likes, two wonderful kids, and her sobriety. But, it isn't all perfect: she's a divorced single mom, estranged from her family, and she can't seem to quit smoking. Plus, there's the pesky matter of her second-to-last ex, who she can't seem to stop hooking up with, and her beloved childhood friend, who has had quite the glow-up in the last twenty years--On the other hand, Dr.
Diego Lopez is perfectly well. He's a highly specialized physician who happens to be fit, charming, handsome, and well-liked. He also happens to be deeply lonely, but he is far too busy saving lives to stop and think about that. Of course, there's the matter of his own ex, who has come back to Saint Paul sixteen years after shattering his heart -- and who he happens to now work with. What could two totally different people like Olivia and Diego have in common? Nothing, really-- except their strained lifelong friendship, adopted mutual family, their social group, some shared trauma, and a little thing called 'secret psychic abilities.' Y'know: small potatoes.
When she learns that their beloved childhood friend is officially dying, Olivia is forced into an awkward and nostalgic grouping with her ex and Diego, who would rather eat glass than speak to her. In the middle of that, a fated encounter with a shady person from her past sets Olivia on a perilous path. Once again, Olivia's old choices have come back to haunt her... but this time, it's not tackled in twelve steps. Now, Olivia and her similarly-traumatized friends must either infiltrate or fight the Coterie, a vengeful cult of hippie psychics who happens to have spies all over the cities.
A cult that knows enough about Olivia, Diego, and their loved ones to find and kill them. In between, Olivia finds herself torn between two men: one who she's always known, and the other who truly knows her. Maybe smoking isn't the worst vice, after all--
