A San Francisco street punk, Mack McKinley found a home and a purpose when he became a GhostWalker. He would do anything for his teammates. His only negative is when his beloved Jaimie Fielding abruptly left the GhostWalkers two years ago taking his heart with her.

Jamie quit when she could not get her beloved Mack to see the sinister side to the GhostWalker program. She vowed to go alone and find the proof to expose those in charge. However, her efforts have come to the attention of those same people who want the status quo, which means using the GhostWalkers against one of their former associates. Mack and his team following a weapons shipment from Beirut end up in her San Francisco home with him literally on top of her; as she points out someone wanted them back together, but she does not trust their matchmaker. When she tries again like she did two years ago to explain the other side of the leadership, he listens though he still doubts her theory but more important to him he vows to keep his Jamie safe although it rocks his world to do so.

This is an enjoyable urban romantic suspense thriller as the telepathic GhostWalkers are betrayed from within and thereby struggle to survive. The story line is action-packed, but clearly fueled by the volatile relationship between Mack and Jaimie who may have a second chance at love if they live long enough. Christine Feehan provides a superb entry in her thrilling saga.
