Lucy Baker had a nice life until FBI agents approached her,
claiming her fiancé, Jonathan, is a murderer, drug dealer
and money launderer. He also bought an expensive home, cars
and boats in her name, then listed himself as beneficiary.
The FBI uses this evidence to finally convince Lucy to help
them put him away.
Thanks to her dog, Sadie, and the neighbor dog, Clueless
Cooper, Lucy is introduced to Cooper's good-looking owner,
lawyer Wylie Wilson. When the dogs refuse to be separated,
Lucy has to dog-sit. Taking them for a walk, she slips on
the ice, spraining her ankle and hitting her head. What she
thinks is just a headache turns into voices. Now not only
does she have to deal with her fiancé's false identity and
the FBI, but also the ability to hear what other people are
thinking.
Wylie is instantly attracted to Lucy and is more than
willing to help with her dilemma. Wylie is relieved when
Lucy declares she doesn't love her fiancé, and after
putting things in prospective, realizes she never did.
As the pieces start falling together, Lucy and Wylie get
closer. After getting snowed in together, they come to
realize they're meant to be together. But not knowing where
Jonathan is, or what he's planning for Lucy, causes
tensions to run high.
This is a very exciting read. Lucy and Wylie have strong
personalities and work well together. I liked the banter
between Lucy, Wylie and his friends and had a few laughs.
In the end, I couldn't help thinking this story would make
a good movie.
Lucy Baker walks away from her high-flying legal career
when she successfully defends yet another heinous criminal.
Almost a year after her life-changing decision, Lucy has
never been happier. Leaving New York City for the suburbs,
tending her garden and her dog, Lucy is making future plans
with her fiancé, Jonathan St. Clair -- and getting
acquainted with her neighbors, including the handsome,
exasperating one next door, Wylie Wilson. But when FBI
special agents confront Lucy with shocking revelations
about her fiancé's secret double life, everything about her
husband-to-be is cast in suspicion. Recovering from a freak
accident that has left her with a heightened sense of
intuition, and getting closer than she ever dreamed to
Wylie, Lucy must determine who to trust -- and fast, before
someone breaks down her defenses and targets her....
