A chance encounter with a street magician throws her a curve ball. What starts as a friendly attraction for the winsome and irresistible Eric Sinclair and his magic tricks turns into a bond Carolyn isn't expecting.

The need to maintain his cover creates difficulty as he struggles between allegiance to his career and a deepening affection for the beautiful, charming librarian. But how will Eric's investigation affect Carolyn as she becomes a suspect in part of the drug ring? Will their relationship survive the intense challenges ahead?
