Gwen Frazier is no stranger to ghosts. She sees them in pools of water, windows, mirrors—any reflective surface—at the scene of violent deaths. But finding justice for the dead is something she’s not trained to do and a luxury she can’t afford. What pays the bills is her work as a psychic counselor who sees auras and interprets dreams.
The death of her friend and mentor, Evelyn Ballinger, brings Gwen back to the small town of Wilby, Oregon, and brings back memories she would rather forget. Two years ago, a killer stalked the members of one of Ballinger’s research studies—including Gwen. She survived, but two others didn’t, though the deaths were attributed to natural causes. The apparent suicide of the killer closed the case, yet Gwen knows otherwise. And now, she’s a suspect.
Enter Judson Coppersmith—a man of startling power and disturbing energy. Sent by a friend to help Gwen, the psychic investigator arrives in Wilby barely in control of his own talent and his own life, haunted by urgent dreams. His attraction to Gwen is primal, but there are secrets he must keep to protect himself from surrendering to her completely.
As their investigation into deaths past and present draws them ever closer to danger, Gwen finds herself going too far—into dreamscapes, into decades of deception, and into the fires of a desire too strong to resist.…

"This is kind of a spin off from the Arcane Series books. At the end they actually touch base with the Jones and Jones Agency in California, so it appears that the Jones and Jones Agency will be working with the Coppersmith Agency. Gwen Frazier, seer of ghosts, Dream counselor, and writer of a television ghost stories, returns to Wilby Oregon when she learns of the death of her good friend and teacher Evelyn Ballinger. She comes back to not only settle the estate as she is her heir, but to also discover the truth behind her death. Two years prior to Evelyn's death, she had put together a group of people who had special kinds of psychic gifts for the purpose of learning and further scientific psychical research. A young man had joined their group and much to their horror was actually a serial killer of those who claimed psychic gifts. He took the lives of two of his classmates and tried to kill Gwen, who was fortunate enough to escape the attempt on her life. So now when she returns, she has returned to a town full of people that believe she bears the guilt of the murders in the past and the murder of one of her closest friends. Her sister sends Judson Coppersmith with her to ensure her safety and help her affairs in Wilby. And as with any of Jayne's stories when the two psychic's come together things heat up and sparks will surely fly. And of course there are always dead bodies stacking up, and a chance of high danger and suspense. Another great book to take you away from it all."
