cover blurb:
Whoever
said you can’t go home again was right.
My
name is Van, and my life isn't exactly going the way I'd expected. I
moved far from home, away from everyone I know and love to avoid
having to reveal my Gift...a Gift so strong it scares me. A Gift so
strong I know people would try to use me for their own gain,
regardless of how much it may hurt me.
A
dear friend from my youth is getting married back home, and while I'm
thrilled for her, I know what waits for me there--disappointment from
my parents, and concern from my brother and friend. But worst of all,
I have to face Caine, a man I have loved for as long as I can
remember, who just doesn’t feel the same way about me.
Somehow,
Caine and I find ourselves in the middle of investigating the
mysterious disappearances of other Gifted people. When the two of us
are abducted, I have to decide if I am willing to use my Gift to save
us, even though doing so will reveal my abilities to Caine. Little
did I know that using my Gift is exactly what the villain is waiting
for…putting both our lives are in jeopardy.
Synopsis:
Having
a Gift is hard. Keeping the ability to read and manipulate
minds a secret from family and friends is torture.
Vanessa
(Van) Lyons is terrified of her very powerful Gift of Mind, and has
been hiding it from her family since she was a child. Her Gift
troubled her so much that she moved away from everything and everyone
she knew to avoid the possibility of the truth being discovered.
She's stayed away for a long time, making excuses for staying
put in her charming little cottage in a small town far enough away to
be a comfortable buffer. But an invitation to the wedding of
her childhood best friend Kelley brings her back home...and forces
her to confront all of her fears and emotions. It also forces
her to be face-to-face with the man she has loved since they were
young.
Caine
Moore is a handsome journalist with a playboy reputation. Seen
frequently about town or in the tabloid pages with a different
beautiful woman on his arm, he has become a completely different man
from the boy Van grew up with. Tension builds between them as
he sends Van mixed messages throughout the pre-wedding festivities,
confusing her and making her yearn for things she's spent a long time
convincing herself she could never have.
Caine
has been working on a story, and has seen things he shouldn't see.
In his desire to protect Van, he inadvertently pulls her into
an intriguing but deadly case that puts her right into the killer's
path...
Excerpt
My
stomach rolled when he spoke. His tone changed, and he spoke with
the authority of a doctor explaining a procedure to their patient.
Where normally this would be soothing for the patient, the more
details he divulged, the more apprehensive I became. I would only
have one attempt at breaking through his Displacement.
I
tuned him out and closed my eyes. I needed every last bit of
strength I had to fight this monster before me. I was so deep in
concentration, that I didn’t notice the quiet. He stopped talking.
I opened my eyes and was startled to see that Thomas was in the room,
