Meredith Costigan has been charged with bringing Richard Belton on board at The Lightning Center. The Center is her family's research and testing facility for people who have been struck by lightning, and developed psychic abilities. What she doesn't expect is to be attracted to the handsome meteorologist.

Richard is one of the country's foremost experts in the meteorology of lightning. He wants to be respected for his knowledge. He has a talent too—the ability to see auras. Intrigued by the job offer, and even more by the beautiful social worker who is attempting to hire him for the facility, he eventually takes the job. But as he and Meredith draw closer, danger threatens her.

Meredith fights her attraction to Richard because of troubles with her ex-husband in the past. Can their growing feelings survive their own personal problems plus danger?
