"The Harper and the Wells families have regarded each other with deep suspicion for four generations. The Harpers have been known to offer their psychic talents for less-than-legal purposes, while the powerful Wells clan has a reputation for working both sides of the street. But for all the history and distrust between them, there is a mysterious pact binding the two lineages. They share the responsibility for protecting a long-buried and very dangerous secret. Sophy Harper and Luke Wells are shocked to learn that her aunt and his uncle have been sleeping together--and now they are both missing. Not only that, but the last traces of them are at the scene of a murder soaked in negative paranormal energy. Clearly, someone is willing to kill to obtain the information their families have been charged with safeguarding. Despite Sophy and Luke's mutual misgivings--which, as far as Sophy is concerned, extend to Luke's hellhound of a dog--they both know that the terms of the pact must be honored. Their investigation uncovers a psychic trail leading to a bizarre desert art colony where nothing is as it seems. But Luke and Sophy are concealing a few secrets of their own, too. By a strange twist of fate, a Harper and a Wells have no choice but to trust each other and in the fierce attraction that draws them together even more than the pact between the families"-- Dust jacket flap.
