All of Cate's problems are in her head. That may be her greatest strength.
Cate Duncan is a promising young therapist, dedicated to her work. But after her mother's suicide, she is seized by a paralyzing depression. To save her job, Cate agrees to enter a treatment program run by the mysterious Ben MacGregor and his mother.
Housed in a repurposed church, the MacGregor Group is a collection of alternative healers whose unconventional approaches include crystals, aura readings, and psychics, but they need Cate's unique powers. As her emotional struggles bring her ever closer to her own abyss, Ben will do everything in his power to protect Cate from those who wish her harm—including herself.
A powerful novel of suspense and a wildly inventive start to this paranormal romance series, All the Broken Places engages readers with its striking blend of the supernatural and the psychological.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This atypical paranormal romance is rich in the details of parapsychology but slow in building suspense. Psychothera pist Cathryn "Cate" Duncan has been in a depressive state since her mother's death. Finally, her boss sends her to the mysterious MacGregor Group, where Cate is informed that she's an emotional empath and immediately admitted to their strict, unconventional treatment program. While Cate knows that her conventional, science-based mental health techniques aren't keeping her suicidal thoughts at bay, she is skeptical of working with a bunch of gung ho alternative healers who are excited by her special gifts. She also doesn't appreciate the assertive attitude of manager Ben MacGregor. However, there's a lot to be said about being able to "mind-meld" with her clients, and soon she's bonding with quirky, endearing healers who use aura readings, crystals, and psychic abilities. Events take an unsettling twist when a client turns violent and Cate has to decide just where she belongs. While romance readers may need more than the subtle connection between Cate and Ben, those with an interest in parapsychology will be fascinated by this artfully written series starter.
