BLURB:
Supernatural Branch of Law Enforcement empath
Ella Walsh sucks memories from people's heads. The job fills her mind with
others' nightmares and leaves her with little time for love, but if she doesn't
pair off with a mate of the government's choosing soon, the psychic blowback
will destroy her powers and her sanity.
The
last time shapeshifting SBLE superstar Vadim Morosov worked with an empath, he
got her killed and himself assigned to a desk. He worries about taking on
another partner, but helping Ella track down an empath killer might be his only
chance to save his career.
Naturally,
the government decides to throw them together.
They
resist at first, but they can't deny the simmering heat between them. As the
killer's strikes grow closer to home, their bond gets tighter. And when the
murderer finally traps Ella, her developing link with Vadim might be the only
thing that can save her.

EXCERPT:
Speaking of
misbehaving... Ella’s gaze came to rest on the broad shoulders of an unknown
black-haired man who was studying the vending machines with deep suspicion. He
wore a nice dark suit, white shirt and tie, which meant he was either a regular
government employee, or some religious groupie that had inadvertently slipped
through security.
Male was
probably a more appropriate word than man, because Ella could already tell
there was something not quite human about him. As she approached, he turned
more fully toward her, and she got her first good look at him. She sighed. He
was way out of her league. With his pretty face, height and distinctive
cheekbones he could have graced the cover on any magazine. Her appreciative
gaze dropped to his broad chest—imagining him, preferably without his shirt on.
She’d just bet he worked out.
“What’s up?” she
asked as he continued to study her.
He looked even
more confused. “I beg your pardon?”
His Russian
accent was as divine as his cheekbones, and she actually wanted to squeal a
little. She gestured at the five-dollar bill in his hand and spoke very slowly.
“Are you having
trouble with the vending machine? Don’t they have those in your country?”
His
sapphire-blue eyes narrowed. “Yes, they do, and you don’t need to worry about
whether I can under- stand you. I spent four years at Harvard, so I speak
American.”
“You do?” She
flashed him her best smile. “Then I’ll leave you to it.”
