BLURB:
Reluctant
psychic Gypsy Shields—she prefers the term "intuition
consultant"—finds herself in trouble when, on her way home
from a blind date, she interrupts a kidnapping in progress. She
attempts to intervene, and her heroics are repaid with a collision
between the attacker's van and a brick wall. She awakens in the
hospital, paralyzed on her left side and unable to speak. This also
means she's unable to share her vital information as a witness.
Fortunately, she is able to use her telepathic connection with her
niece to throw a line out to a police detective she knows: Connor
Reardon, her blind date.
Connor
will do anything to protect Gypsy, and he listens to her claims of
psychic power willingly, as he's concealing certain powers of his
own. Nor are they all he's concealing. Gypsy senses a part of her new
ally's mind is closed to her—what she cannot know is that Connor
suspects the kidnapper is someone close to him, and the kidnapping
victim holds secrets that will tear through Connor's department,
putting careers and lives at risk. Including Gypsy, still in hospital
and vulnerable as the attacker turns his sights on her once again.
Can
she use her powers to track down the perpetrator and prevent her own
murder?
Excerpt
As
Connor switched off the alarm, he knew it would be a rough one. The
rumor mill was already in overdrive, and his phone had notified him
with a ping.
A young
woman, a police headquarters employee had gone missing last night.
The
kicker was the confidential reports she’d swiped on the way out of
the building. Reports about suspect bent cops, written by internal
affairs and for the eyes of that department only. Seems this lady was
curious and not all she appeared to be.
He’d
been exhausted last night and needed a full night’s sleep. It was
still dark outside as he slid out of bed and slipped on his running
gear. His morning run helped him keep his thoughts straight and make
a reasonable start to the day. He grabbed the bottle from the shelf
beside the door, and it swung wide has he headed outside. If he
didn’t run he’d go insane or at least more insane than he felt
already, dealing with the unrelenting pressure of being senior
detective. As he headed down the steps he heard the satisfying clunk
of the door closing.
Cold air
stung his skin, and his breath formed plumes of mist that streamed
past his eyes. Lengthening his stride, Connor pulled the iPod from
his pocket to clip it his waistband. Some cops turned to drink, some
to drugs, and others went off the rails. After the failure of his
marriage, he had turned to running, three miles a day.
