I'm Vanessa Lyons, and for the first time in my life I'm learning to use my Gift of Mind without guilt or fear of discovery. I left my childhood home once again, determined to move forward; putting Caine behind me, as I settle back down in my quiet little town. But all is not peaceful in my neck of the woods. Women are being raped and murdered, and I'm caught in the middle. Determined to do right by these women, I agree to work with the police to find and capture the person responsible. As I struggle to discover the limitations of my Gift, my past is fighting to catch up with me. Confronting my demons might be more than I can handle, and making it through this unscathed is an uncertainty. My self-imposed duty-- to stop a monster -- might just cost me everything...

Having a Gift is hard. Keeping the ability to read and manipulate minds a secret from family and friends is torture. Vanessa (Van) Lyons is terrified of her very powerful Gift of Mind, and has been hiding it from her family since she was a child. Her Gift troubled her so much that she moved away from everything and everyone she knew to avoid the possibility of the truth being discovered. She's stayed away for a long time, making excuses for staying put in her charming little cottage in a small town far enough away to be a comfortable buffer. But an invitation to the wedding of her childhood best friend Kelley brings her back home...and forces her to confront all of her fears and emotions. It also forces her to be face-to-face with the man she has loved since they were young. Caine Moore is a handsome journalist with a playboy reputation. Seen frequently about town or in the tabloid pages with a different beautiful woman on his arm, he has become a completely different man from the boy Van grew up with. Tension builds between them as he sends Van mixed messages throughout the pre-wedding festivities, confusing her and making her yearn for things she's spent a long time convincing herself she could never have. Caine has been working on a story, and has seen things he shouldn't see. In his desire to protect Van, he inadvertently pulls her into an intriguing but deadly case that puts her right into the killer's path...
