Maya Drake is employed by Rookery Cove to catch a psychotic telekinetic. All she has to do is find the guy, work her spell and cash the check since this witch can freeze a perp at twenty paces and have him wrapped and waiting for the boys in blue. Ex-cop Joe Holland doesn't think it’s all that easy. A septiel, able to replicate himself into a squad of seven men, Holland is hired to stop the creep who pops in and out of Rookery Cove. As the attraction to his Kevlar- and micromini-clothed partner grows, Holland decides to burn the little witch out of his system—even if he has to split into two, or three, or four, just to exhaust her. As the threats against the Cove residents increase, Maya and Holland must find a way to work together, maintain their professional relationship, and keep their minds off sex and on the job at hand.
