For a reason she cannot guess, she has become the target of deadly assassins. Suddenly no place is safe–not even the secret refuge she’d established long ago. Now she must rely on Nicolas Trevane–a dangerous warrior sent to track her down and protect her. Together they generate a scorching heat Dahlia never imagined was possible. But can she trust this man with her secrets–especially when some people would kill to get their hands on them?

The Hero: Nicolas – he was special forces and had volunteered for a special project that centered around research and developing psychic abilities. They were called ghost walkers because they can get in and out of situations without making a sound. They used telepathy to talk to each other on missions. However, something went wrong, and their psychic abilities have become too strong and has caused severe headaches. When they complained that the scientist and general behind the project didn’t care when some of them died and others were tortured, they were held captive in cells. Until they escaped along with the scientist’s daughter Lily. Now they live with her in her mansion, where they can be away from others and all the human thoughts and emotions that bombard them if they are in a populated area. They still go on missions, and they are also trying to rescue other ghost walkers from the program.

The heroine: Dahlia – she grew up in a research facility where she was experimented on. She was the girl with the most promising abilities, and she can do things with her mind that nobody else can do. She is capable of telekinesis, she can start fires with her mind, she is telepathic with great instincts, and much more. However, when she is around others, their emotions overpower her and cause her to shut down and pass out. The scientist that she worked with, Dr. Whitney ended up setting her up in her own home where she could be safe and protected, when she wasn’t away on missions. One day when she was out, she came back to find her home was invaded by men with evil intentions. A squad sent to kill her. The few people she was used to were murdered, including her handler.

The Story: Nicolas was sent to find Dahlia after Lily found some footage of Dahlia as a child. They could tell that she was a ghost walker like them and that she had unprecedented psychic abilities, and they grew as she got older. They were able to find where she was living, and they knew that Dahlia couldn’t handle human emotions so they knew that they could help her. Nicolas was a natural psychic anchor and just being near him would help Dahlia deal with being around other humans.

I read the first book in this series a while ago and I liked it. I forgot this was a military romance about enhanced psychic abilities (super-soldiers) and that is just the kind of thing I have been reading lately so I thought I would jump back into this series. I liked the thought of this one from the start. I loved the fact that the heroine has the best psychic abilities that are even stronger than those of the Hero.

This audiobook was in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Tom Stechshulte. He is a good narrator and has a deep voice, though he does sound a bit older than the male Hero. Though for me to listen to 14+ hours of a Solo narration, should tell you that I liked him well enough, as I rarely listen to solo narration and when I do, I have to like the narrator of I will give up right away.
