"A novel" - cover.

Teresa Casali has the ability to read peoples memories. But the gift seemed more like a curse when her mob boss father used her in his world of corruption and violence. She realizes that if she is to survive, she has to run. Then Andre Mandak appears. He kills her pursuers-but thats not nearly enough to make Teresa trust him. It is his promise to get her into Witness Protection, along with his ability to help her control her gift before it consumes her, that convinces Teresa Casali to become Allie Girard. Living a normal life with a new family, she shuts the door to the past . . . although Mandak is clear: when the time is right, he too will benefit from her powers.
