She’s even learned to bank her psychic powers.For the most part.Then there’s Dane, the intriguing, infuriating guy who’s her community service student supervisor. He’s got “angry teen” down to a science. Without even trying, he slips past her emotional shields, challenging her to be the one thing she’s most afraid of—herself.For Rhee, that’s as scary as the ghost haunting the silo behind Doyle’s ice cream parlor.
