Twenty-two years old clairvoyant Kaylin Dancroft abruptly wakes up because she senses her teenage sister Jenna in trouble. She is proven right when she sees an intruder heading towards Jenna. Kaylin tries to rescue her sibling, but fails as the evil man knocks her out and abducts Jenna.

Four years later in Tampa Bay, Kaylin struggles with nightmares that never fully focus. Psychic Shane Lynch has returned from penetrating terrorist cells in Iraq and Kuwait to Tampa Bay to help Kaylin deal with her bad dreams, but she never slows down for even a minute so he has no way of casually meeting her. He feels he can soothe her restless soul while she sleeps and in her dreams confronts the evil that snatched her sister, who she believes is alive. As he finally succeeds in meeting her when she dozes off in a movie theater, he provides her the needed help to look at the faceless evil haunting her. As they fall in love, both know that rescuing Jenna comes first.

Susan Kearny writes a fantastic paranormal romantic suspense that will make believers out of the most skeptical physicist. The story line is action-packed but character driven as the lead couple step slowly towards confronting the vile villain. Readers will remain ON THE EDGE of their seat wondering whether Kaylin assisted by Shane will save Jenna in time.
