When police officer Sinead O'Rourke returns to duty months after being shot in an incident that claimed her partner, she knows it's not going to be easy. Despite being cleared of any negligence, her fellow officers still wonder whether she's responsible for his death. One more problem is that everyone knows she claims to have seen his ghost. After months of rehabilitation and lying like hell about the fact she's not seeing spooks anymore, Sin's determined to get back into the saddle.

Jake doesn't want to partner with Sin. Been there, done that—couldn't keep his hands off her the first time around. She's too much of a distraction, and her penchant for rushing into trouble scares the heck out of him. Despite wishing she'd quit her job, he's still deeply attracted. When an armed robbery goes down and something happens that rattles Sin to the core, he's right there—ready to cover her back and her sweet body.
