She thinks she bought a harmless toy for her dust bunny pet, but the ruby red object turns out to be a powerful relic that dangerous people want. Security specialist Davis Oakes arrives to retrieve the artifact from Celinda. He brings his own psychic talents to the mission, but he faces two problems. First, Celinda and her dust bunny companion don't trust him. Second, he finds himself attracted to the woman he's supposed to be investigating. Davis must convince Celinda to give up the relic while fighting his growing feelings for her. Meanwhile, other forces close in on them, willing to use violence to claim the mysterious object. The three unlikely allies must work together to survive the threat.
