All Loni Stanfield was looking for was a good book to read. What she got was enough terror and danger to last a lifetime. Alec Page is a Dark Enforcer, one of the elite paranorms who patrol by night. Alec is a mimic with the rare ability to take on the powers of the last being he touches. He must use his ability to defeat the evil haunting the streets of Phoenix. Paranorms are turning up dead with no clues as to who or what is the cause. Drugs are also being distributed that give humans paranorm abilities, wreaking havoc in both paranorm and human realities. Dawson, a powerful sorcerer, may be behind everything, and Alec is out to stop the devastation before it goes too far. Loni finds herself in a paranorm reality that she read about in a novel and then she meets Alec, the hero of that very book. Soon she finds herself falling for him at the same time she's discovering magical powers of her own. Alec is drawn to Loni, no matter that she's human...and taboo. When Loni is kidnapped and in the sorcerer's clutches, Alec must save her as well as save a city on the verge of destruction.
