About the book

Seeing is Believing...

This was one psychic vision Devon Murphy could definitely have lived without. Because what he was seeing was that a certain sassy, sexy, skeptical lady was destined to spend her life with him - and if he didn't do something quickly, that life might be awfully short...

Okay, so this great big gorgeous private eye didn't look like the kind of new-age man who always made Kerry Cottrell very, very nervous. But he kept telling her they were 'soul mates' - whatever that meant - and that she was in danger. And the really scary part was, it was starting to look as if he was right - on both counts....
