Part of Harmony
First published 2012
Rachel Blake has built a peaceful life on Rainshadow Island. She runs a bookstore and café with her dust bunny companion, far from the chaos of Harmony's mainland. Her exotic martial arts training and psychic abilities to read criminal auras stay dormant in this tranquil sanctuary. Then Harry Sebastian arrives. The descendant of notorious pirates has come to investigate strange occurrences in the island's privately owned Preserve. Rachel finds herself drawn to this amber-eyed stranger, but her psychic gifts reveal something troubling. She can sense the darkness that lives within Harry's heart. Harry needs Rachel's talents to track down dangerous rogues who have breached the Preserve's boundaries. But working together means constant proximity, and neither can ignore the attraction building between them. Rachel must decide whether to trust a man whose inner shadows her abilities clearly detect, while Harry discovers that wanting Rachel means exposing himself to someone who can see his deepest secrets.
