Part of Harmony
First published 2007
Celinda Ingram arrives in Cadence City carrying the weight of scandal and desperate for a fresh beginning. She sets up shop as a matchmaker, using her powerful para-resonator abilities to read the psi waves of potential couples. Her talent serves her well until security specialist Davis Oakes walks into her office. His psychic energy makes her body respond in ways she never expected. Davis isn't looking for love. He's hunting a potent relic that Celinda apparently purchased as a plaything for her dust bunny pet. The ruby red artifact pulses with dangerous power. When Davis tries to retrieve the object, the effort nearly depletes his psychic reserves. He needs that energy for two critical tasks: controlling his mounting attraction to Celinda and protecting her from enemies who will kill to claim the relic. As threats close in around them, Celinda and Davis must navigate their explosive connection while staying one step ahead of those who view the artifact as worth any price.
