On the first day of her new life, Tawnia McKnight finds herself in Oregon, her fifth state in ten years. Another new job, new friends, a heartache left far behind. Maybe in Portland she can at last find what she is looking for. Maybe she can even forget Bret Winn. But when a tragic bridge collapse rocks the city, Tawnia is thrust back in to the life of the man she thought she'd never see again. Then Bret introduces her to the eccentric Autumn Rain- a stranger with inexplicably familiar eyes- and Tawnia finds herself drawn into a web of confusion and deceit. Autumn's suffering over her mission father seems to be real, but there is much that cannot be explained. Will Tawnia find what she is looking for, or will everything she is beginning to care about slip once again from her grasp?

Autumn reads imprints—emotions left mysteriously behind on certain treasured objects. But is this ability a blessing or a curse? Sometimes Autumn isn’t sure—her life has become far from normal—but for people who have missing loved ones, her talent might mean the difference between life and death. Even the infuriating Detective Martin has asked for Autumn’s help, though at times she feels more like a suspect than a consultant. Too often Autumn finds herself retreating to her antiques shop and the company of her best friend, Jake Ryan, to avoid notice. But soon more than one woman is mission, and Autumn teams up with private eye Keefe McConnell to investigate their disappearance. Keefe’s attraction to her is a pleasant change from Jake’s frustrating offers of friendship, but once Autumn takes that first step, she sets in motion a series of events that risk not only her own life but the lives of those she cares about most.

Why would a contented family man who has it all suddenly vanish without a trace? Autumn Rain believes someone from Dennis Brigg’s past has played into his sudden disappearance. She involves Detective Shannon Martin in the investigation, hoping that together they can find Dennis before the past catches up to him. Meanwhile, Autumn has troubles of her own. Her boyfriend, Jake, has been a great support since her father’s death, but now his old girlfriend, Kolonda, needs his help. Unfortunately, Jake’s help doesn’t seem to be all Kolonda wants. Autumn is equally confused about her own changing feelings for Jake… Both investigations take a dangerous turn, with millions of dollars and many lives at stake – including that of a young innocent boy. Only by reading imprints – emotions left on certain objects – and putting herself at risk can Autumn unravel the mystery and save her friends.

Autumn Rain’s unique ability to read imprints—emotions left on certain objects—is put to the test as she attempts to find a missing actress. When the investigation uncovers an eight-yearold mystery that involves more missing actors and one dead body, Autumn finds herself embroiled in a make-believe world where it’s difficult to tell fake imprints from real, and where everyone concerned has something to hide. To learn the truth, Autumn must team up again with the handsome Detective Martin, complicating their uncertain relationship and testing her loyalty to her former boyfriend, Jake Ryan. Life takes another unexpected turn when Autumn discovers a clue to her own past that may explain her unusual abilities. But Autumn’s mixed feelings about this discovery are put on hold as she finds herself in a deadly struggle to keep from facing her own final call.

Some secrets are best left alone. Autumn Rain is back to work, along with handsome Detective Shannon Martin, but this time her investigation is personal. She must prove whether or not Cody Beckett is responsible for the disappearance of a young girl. His record makes him the main suspect, even if there's not enough evidence to arrest him, and Autumn's unique ability to read imprints may be the only way she can uncover the truth. What Autumn discovers, however, is far bigger than she or Shannon expected. Secrets, lies, missing evidence, and Autumn's own volatile feelings regarding Cody muddy the case until they aren't sure whom to trust, even among their own allies. Soon Autumn and Shannon are running out of time to save their own lives and the lives of more than one little girl.

When a rash of elderly deaths occur in Portland, Autumn Rain is called upon to use her ability to read emotions imprinted on physical objects in an attempt to track down the killer.

After all, reselling antiques is her business, and spending time with the man she might be falling for is a plus. But a chilling repeat imprint and a fiery near-death has Autumn rethinking everything she’s learned about her ability and what it has made her become. Mobster Nicholas Russo is also back in town to claim the favor Autumn owes him. If she doesn’t pay, her life and those of her family will be at risk, but helping Russo might mean the deaths of other innocent people.
