Prudence Ryland was a dream reader. A psychic with abilities that passed down through her family. She used these abilities to earn money to keep her grandmother and herself afloat. And then it happened. Prudence was caught in a crime not of her making. In fact, whether it was a crime is oddly questionable. During one of her most horrific readings, Prudence was drawn into a frightening dream. A nightmare involving her client and a woman in a white bridal gown. It so frightened her that she knew it was probably going to cause a panic attack. Said client winds up dead at the hospital. Prudence winds up on her way to Los Angeles. Her other clients were now referring to her as the nightmare psychic.
Months later Prudence finds herself firmly enmeshed in another death. Hoping it was just a dream, a nightmare to be sure, Prudence doesn’t think she will be that lucky. She needs help. She turns to someone who could provide that: an expert in the field, Luther Pell. Both victims had a dangerous history involving women. One was a killer, the other had unsavory habits.
Luther Pell chose Jack Wingate as the consultant on Prudence's case. Jack was currently working on a book still in manuscript form. He envisioned his book as a source for those investigating crimes. And since Luther Pell knew that Prudence was indeed involved in what was now two deaths, he called on his friend Jack to take the lead on compiling a new crime tree, this one constructed on these events.

A psychic desperate to escape her destiny—and a killer—finds her future in the coastal town of Burning Cove in New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick’s latest novel.Being Madame Ariadne, Psychic Dream Consultant, wasn’t Prudence Ryland’s ideal gig, but it paid well which was reason enough to do the work—until she realizes that her latest client intends to kill her. But Prudence, a master at reinvention, finds a new job and home as far away as possible and is finally able to relax—which turns out to be a big mistake. Letting her guard down means being kidnapped and drugged and waking up in a bloodstained wedding dress in the honeymoon suite next to a dead man. With the press outside the hotel, waiting with their cameras and police sirens in the distance, it’s obvious she’s being framed for the man’s murder. Prudence knows who is responsible, but will anyone believe her?It doesn’t seem likely that rumored crime boss Luther Pell or his associate, Jack Wingate, believe her seemingly outrageous claims of being a target of a ruthless vendetta. In fact, Prudence is convinced that the mysterious Mr. Wingate believes her to be a fraud at best, and at worst: a murderer. And Jack Wingate does seem to be someone intimately familiar with violence, if going by his scarred face and grim expression. So no one is more shocked than Prudence when Jack says he’ll help her. Of course, his ideas for helping her involve using her as the bait for a killer, but Prudence feels oddly safe with Jack protecting her. But who will protect Prudence from her growing fascination with this enigma of a man?
