Ashton Ward, the son of the Queen's Guard, has been secretly healing wounded animals since he was a child. His life has always been quite secluded. That soon changes as he grows older and realizes there are consequences for everything he does and everyone he involves himself with. Princess Beatrice struggles finding herself in a world where everything is controlled for her. She yearns for freedom and will rebel to gain it, especially once she gets a taste of life beyond the castle walls. Besides, she can get away with anything, can't she? She's the heir to the throne, after all. They both have demons to face, and they might discover that they have more in common than just the color of their brown eyes.

Lucie Montes; the most beautiful, advantaged, and wealthy heiress in the famous coastal city of Boston, has a secret. She is an empath; an individual with the ability to sense the auras and emotions of the people around her. And even though she has perfect hair, perfect skin, and an engagement to an equally perfect young bachelor, it seems to Lucie that her life is merely a perfect illusion. Milo Brooks, on the other hand; a shy, quirky private detective from London, is anything but perfect; you could ask anyone. Compassionate and smart, if not too entangled in his work, he tends to keep people at arm's length. But trying to run a PI agency with the police chief breathing down his neck is difficult. He needs an assistant, stat- not that he'd ever admit it. The two meet by chance when an acquaintance of Lucie's is found dead at a high-profile charity event and Milo is called in to investigate. But when one homicide case turns into a string of murders all over Boston, Milo and Lucie find themselves tracking down a serial killer to solve a mystery that isn't quite what it seems.

My name is Kaitlin Reid. I'm simple-minded, boring, and a little less than capable of dealing with stressful situations. When I witnessed my best friend being murdered, I did all that I knew how to do, and I called the cops. They captured the murderer and put him in prison, and for a while, I felt safe. I had the cops on my side and just enough strength left in me to try to get my life back in order. But of course, as the story goes, that illusion of 'safety' was short-handed. The murderer escaped a high security prison. I know I am the top of his hit list. And I'm not sure when he will find me, or how he will do it, but he is after me. And my limited time is running out.
