Cate's enemies aren't just surrounding her―they're inside her head.

Therapist Cate Duncan has just accepted a job with the MacGregor Group, a unique collective of alternative healers. She’s excited by the prospect of honing her empathic healing techniques among others like herself―aura readers, telepaths, crystal healers, and more. The fact that Cate just started dating Ben, her magnetic new boss, is an added bonus.

Before Cate can settle into her new routine, the poisoning of a prominent neuroscientist draws the entire MacGregor Group into both a federal investigation and an even more insidious threat. Protected by Ben’s former Marine Corps unit, Cate and her colleagues must use their alternative healing methods to solve the crime as their patient clings to life. The responsibility of discovering crucial information falls to Cate and her parapsychological powers.

But for Cate, unraveling the mystery means reopening wounds that had just begun to heal―and in the environment of the Marine Corps unit, differences between Cate and Ben become clearer, straining their budding romance. When a new crisis looms, Cate must trust in her colleagues’ gifts and the strength of Ben’s love, finding the courage to confront her deepest and most terrifying demons―or her own life will be at risk.

The MacGregor group is kicking it up a notch, and Cate is going along for the ride. Hell week has been completed, and it didn't go smoothly, and her internship with the group won't be as smooth either. After all, Cate is pure trouble.

The team has been called in on a top secret mission, for one client, and time is quickly running out. Cate is Plan B, but she's not sure if she will be able to help or just be in everyone's way. As they descend further into the FBI's subbasement under a research facility, Cate wonders just who are they trying to help, and how much danger are they all in by helping?


I have enjoyed both books of Cate Duncan, empath. I was surprised since it wasn't the typical paranormal/romance I had read up until now and I kinda liked that to be completely honest. I did find that the romantic aspect of the series really took hold more so in this book than in the first one. I'd be interested in reading more of the series should it feel it needs to be developed more. Although I felt it was nicely wrapped up.
