Blurb
Virginia Burch, a psychic archeologist, can't believe her luck when she meets Sam Gage, a ghost hunter and owner of prime real estate in the Old Quarters of Cadence, above the Dead City. He offers her his space to live and start up her business. What follows is an even more intriguing proposal-to become his wife. Strictly for professional reasons, of course.
Their marriage of convenience would lead to a very lucrative business partnership, Gage & Burch Consulting. Until something throws a wrench into the plan: the undeniable sensual energy that naturally exists between them-and a love so strong that it could wake the ghosts below.
Review
In the prequel novella to the Harmony series, Virginia
and Sam have agreed to combine their businesses and enter into a temporary
two-year Marriage of Convenience contract. It’s just a business arrangement for
them, but Virginia is having second thoughts. Sam knows she’s ready to call it
quits, and he’s desperate to convince her otherwise.
Though I really liked Sam and Virginia, they really needed
to talk. A little communication would’ve solved their problems without all the
confusion, nervousness, and hurt feelings.
When it comes to their jobs, I’m a little confused. As
far as I could figure out, she can sense unnatural shadows and unravel the
psi-energy from objects (she’s a tangler), and he can destroy dangerous
psi-energy (he’s a ghost-hunter). Hopefully I’ll understand this better in the
later books.
Life is a little different in the futuristic world of
Harmony. A few centuries ago, humans traveled from Earth to the planet of Harmony
through what’s known as the Curtain. It’s like a breach or a crack in space
that connected the two worlds and allowed passage between them. After the
Curtain unexpectedly closed, the trapped settlers on the new planet moved
forward as best they could and created a new society. The best thing about
Harmony is that all the human residents now have psychic gifts because of the
underground green quartz that runs through the planet. Two hundred years have
passed since the Curtain closed and things are pretty good for the new
inhabitants of Harmony.
The story is well-written, fast-paced, and kept my
attention. I look forward to reading more in the series.
