Ava Malia knows three things. She was once a kickass covert operative. She will eventually adjust to her new team, the FBI Specialized Crimes Unit. And the only way to finally be free of her professional past is to solve her first case and get her hands on a game-changing technology. The only problem? Success rides on her ability to swallow her distaste for the persona she must adopt in order to earn the trust of a mysterious scientist.
Dr. H escaped childhood captivity with three things. His sister. Complete control of his gift. And an engulfing distrust of anyone in the government. Adjusting to a life of freedom hasnโt been easy, but heโs found peace in solitude. The sexy woman auditing his empathic studies, though, has a way of getting under his skin thatโs both arousing and disturbing. Plus, his psychic ability warns him of secrets so deeply buried in her psyche, theyโd be better left alone.
Yet their instant attraction strips away all their protective barriers, down to the foundation of a new, fragile trust. And a vulnerability that, when an old enemy opens fire, could blast away any chance of a future. Warning: If you donโt like mysterious heroes who can see into strong heroines, sexy love scenes, empaths, or quirky charactersโฆ Oh come on, who doesnโt like those things?
