출판사 설명
She’s given up on finding love…
Veterinarian Shelley Morgan has always preferred animals to humans, and not simply because she can communicate with them psychically. Unlike most people she’s known, animals have never broken her heart. But after six months in her new town, some of her favorite four-legged companions begin disappearing from the local zoo. Determined to track down the animals and their thief, the telepathic vet decides to investigate, unknowingly delving into a deadly mystery…
He’s ready to make her heart go wild…
Although his bear-like physique has been an advantage in the Tidewater Police Department, Dev Jones’s size often intimidates people. Only Shelley has seen past his massive build to the intelligent man inside, but that was years ago. So when she contacts him requesting his help to solve a series of animal kidnappings, he’s eager to reconnect with her. But the thefts escalate to murder and all the evidence points to Shelley as the killer, and Dev faces a devastating choice: forsake his career or risk losing the woman he’s grown to love…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The appealing second Tidewater paranormal romantic suspense (after Spirited) introduces Dr. Shelley Morgan, a veterinarian with an unusual talent she can talk to the animals like a latter-day Dr. Doolittle. The animals in the small town of Elkridge, Va., have much to relate, including some tales of disappearances at the local private zoo. Shelley passes their tips along to Devin Jones, a detective from the Tidewater Police Department, who also happens to be a hunky friend from her undergraduate years. Devin has his own reasons for catching up with Shelley: he's been secretly in love with her since college, and he also wants to reunite her with the sister she hasn't seen for 13 years. The path to romance, however, is beset with many pitfalls and dangers. Replacing the first book's slapstick with pathos, Behre successfully balances the mystery with the love story.
