Romance Suspense

Those who work for FBI special agent Taylor Jones believe him to be cold and unfeeling, including Desiree "Dez" Lincoln. That is until the night she is shot in the line of duty. Taylor has no business feeling the way he does about Dez, so much so that after her recovery he tries to put her on extended sick leave believing out of sight will help him ignore his feelings. Every one in Taylor's group has special talents and Dez is no exception. Her talent is to communicate with the dead and help them move on to the beyond. This sometimes calls for rescuing the living from violence. There is no way she could take leave without helping them. Their incessant cries would drive her insane. Dez's latest ghost leads her to a small town where evil is prevalent. She calls on Taylor for reinforcements when she is unable to rescue a living person in desperate need of help. Imagine her surprise when he shows up in person. Taylor had returned to his hometown on the anniversary of his little sister's disappearance. What were the odds that Taylor and Dez would wind up in the same place at the same time and that her investigation would place them both in danger in more ways than one? What Dez discovers about her ghost and what's been happening in town could possibly give Taylor the answers he needs to move on with his life. Once again this author delivers an outstanding story fraught with sexual tension and a spine tingling mystery. THE DEPARTED will keep readers turning pages faster than they think trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Ms. Walker's paranormal romantic suspense tale is chilling in its portrayal of the lengths people will go to for thrills or to protect a loved one. The romance is emotionally captivating as these two strong willed people find a way to overcome their emotional battle for a chance at the love of a lifetime.

SUMMARY

A LIFELONG OBSESSION FBI Special Agent Taylor Jones has made it his mission to save those in harm’s way by any means necessary—including employing psychic agents like Desiree "Dez" Lincoln, who can communicate with the disembodied spirits of the dead. Taylor is haunted by his own ghost, his kid sister, gone missing at age six. For a quarter of a century he has been tortured by her loss and the mystery of her disappearance. A NIGHT’S INDISCRETION When Dez is seriously wounded, Taylor can no longer hide his feelings for her. Getting involved could spell disaster for both of them—not to mention those who rely on them for help—but once Dez lays her hands on him, he can’t resist the fierce attraction. But after giving in to his desires, Taylor pulls back, and Dez strikes out on her own. AN INESCAPABLE PASSION Responding to the call of another anguished spirit, Dez is led to Taylor’s old hometown. As the two are forced to come together to save a girl in peril, Dez may be able to help Taylor finally find the answers he’s been looking for...
