It''s fight or flight in this sultry, suspenseful GhostWalker novel from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.

Gideon ''Eagle'' Carpenter is used to rolling with the punches life has thrown at him. It''s the only thing that''s kept him alive. He and his team of GhostWalkers have seen and experienced it all. He does his best to live with all the sins written on his soul. Then he hears the laughter of a woman with the ability to erase - even for a few precious moments - the darkness of his past.

Laurel ''Rory'' Chappel has always been a nomad. She''s accustomed to taking care of herself, despite the physical challenges she lives with. She thinks she''s too weak to find real love, but that doesn''t stop her interest in Gideon from turning into a full-on addiction. He''s all rough edges and danger contrasted with a tenderness that makes her feel safe. Still, after a life spent in motion, she''s not sure she knows how to stay in one place.

Gideon hopes he can persuade Rory to take a chance on him with every electric touch. But soon, life conspires against him, forcing the GhostWalker to risk everything to protect the woman he loves . . .
