Publisher's Synopsis
Maya Wingfield was raised to trust no one--least of all the dueling U.S. and Russian paranormal agencies, Universe and Night Stars, who'd love to harness her mind-reading gift.
She thought Richmond a safe place to escape their influence and hide from a rising psychic malevolence that drove her out of San Diego. But when she gets yet another call to retrieve her drunken roommate, her mind shows her an amber-eyed Universe operative with an impenetrable net around his deepest secret--and a voice that sends shock waves of awareness down her nerve endings.
Maya's curves and aquamarine eyes aren't the only things that jolt Ian Sanderson's mental shields, bringing sexual tension thrumming back to life. It's a power his Universe-trained mind knows he shouldn't trust. And a vulnerability that makes his telekinetic power burn in his palms to protect her.
But to Universe, she is just one of too many unanswered questions. A target for Whisper, a shadowy new group of paranormals with powers beyond anything Universe has ever seen. Once before, Ian failed to protect a sensitive from a brain-scrambling attack. He will not fail again . . . even if it means using his talent--or his body--to stop a bullet.
