In Santa Rita, California, software millionaire Jay Singleton, over the objection of his chief of security Griffin Knox, hires a psychic to help find his missing daughter, Christina, who he believes has been kidnapped. Griffin, a former cop, is skeptical that a psychic can help, though he reluctantly finds himself attracted to Tessa Nichols. Instead Griffin wants to follow the law enforcement handbook on handling abductions, with the goal to bring Christina home safely instead of mumbo jumbo. Adding to his doubts, is the fact he knows Tessa from a previous confrontation (make that collaboration), and believes she is a fake.

However, Tessa is looking forward to this assignment, and not just because she feels she can help with the rescue, make a large sum of money, and enhance her reputation. She knows that Griff is her soulmate, and plans to lure him into a relationship whether he wants one or not.

SEX AND SENSIBILITY is a fine investigative paranormal romance, that hooks the audience the moment that Griff learns that the "Princesa" appears to have been kidnapped, and never slows down until Tessa confronts Griff. Fans of off-beat suspense thrillers, will appreciate this strong tale, as the sensitive persuades the Skeptic (and readers), that she is real and that they make a great team.
