It’s a volatile mix when seasoned, no-nonsense FBI Special Agent Nathan West is forced to work with Aubrey Scott, a quirky, freethinking spirit medium who’s in way over her head. Despite their polar opposite views, clashing wills, and reluctant but fiery attraction, Nate and Aubrey must pool their skills to stop a bio-terrorism threat of cataclysmic proportions. Putting aside his extreme skepticism, Nate must support Aubrey and the use of her unconventional paranormal skills to find the answers they need through unpredictable ghostly means.
Facing the worst bio-terrorism threat in U.S. history with a mere 72 hours until bombs explode releasing a deadly virus into the water systems of seven major cities, millions of lives hang in the balance. Only the man who planted the delivery devices knows their locations and the deactivation codes and that man has just been murdered!
Discovering their love just might be the answer to saving the world.

Excerpt
"Okay, Ms. Scott, show me what you've got." Assuming the ready position, he held his hand before him slapping it open and shut, giving her a curt signal to come at him and attack.
"No problem, sir."
Rising to the challenge, she warily crept toward him and they began circling each other. She managed to get in a few darn good kicks, parries, blocks and what she thought were a couple of convincingly threatening shouts, not to mention an impressive defensive roll before he knocked her flat on her butt.
Special Agent West pinned her to the floor, once again, straddling her prone body. For a moment, Aubrey couldn't catch her breath, initially from the jolt of being knocked to the ground, but then because of the weight and heat of Nate on the middle of her body and her body's lightning fast and traitorous response.
His blue eyes pierced her, reminding her of a white tiger's eyes every bit the predator stalking his prey, and she guessed that made her the gazelle at the watering hole. Like prey stunned into paralysis, she stared at him immobilized with a wide-eyed, fixed gaze.
He vaulted up and reached down to give her a hand up. The force of his tug to pull her up propelled her forward and she fell hard against him. He caught her in his arms. She gulped audibly, looking up into his face, her body once again pressed against his. She found herself unable to catch her breath as she felt hard evidence that told her his body was responding to hers in a big way as well.
"If you keep throwing yourself at me like this," Nate said in a guttural purr, his hot breath mingling with hers, "I'm going to think you want my body and--" his smile was wicked with promise as he moved his mouth closer to her ear, "I'm going to give it to you." His breath tickled her ear, sending shivers down her spine that traveled to her lower extremities.
