Blurb:

All Jenna Langley wanted was a chance to finally marry the man of her dreams. But when the spirit of a dead girl shows up at her wedding that only she can see, it becomes clear Jenna’s latest brush with death has caused the heightening of her psychic abilities to reach an unfamiliar and frightening level. Her new husband, Detective Cole Rainwater, vows to do whatever it takes to get to the root of Jenna’s disturbing sightings. But before he can investigate this mystery, his bride is taken right under his nose.

What started as a romantic honeymoon has turned into a fight for Jenna’s life. And the only path to freedom is through the help and guidance of a dead girl who was once the victim of the sex traffickers that have stolen away with Jenna.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

I enjoyed this tale. I loved how Jenna wanted to overcome some of her fears, and with Cole's help, she did. She accepted the change in her abilities and accepted help from a ghost to survive her ordeal. Cole was sweet with Jenna, though they had their moments of disbelief and disagreement. Their love and attraction to each other was strong and intense. I look forward to more from this author.

This is my unsolicited review.
