Touching Darkness (The Offspring)

“I’m hooked on Jaime Rush’s exciting, sexy paranormal series!”—Janet Evanovich One of the most exciting new names in paranormal romance is Jaime Rush—who follows her phenomenal Perfect Darkness and Out of the Darkness with Touching Darkness, the latest in her breathtaking Offspring series. Fans of TV’s Heroes and Torchwood—and of the dark and sensuous fiction of Jeaniene Frost and Vicki Pettersson—will thrill to Rush’s tales of the now-grown children of a dark experiment that left them with great powers...and in grave peril. They live ordinary lives, but they are extraordinary. They are the offspring, children of a mysterious experiment gone awry – and they are in terrible danger. Nicholas Braden has an uncanny psychic talent for finding things – which is why he’s been recruited for a covert government program designed to hunt down terrorists. While his work for a shady controller named Darkwell is leading him down some very questionable alleyways, it’s also bringing him closer to Olivia, Darkwell’s stunning young assistant. A “good girl” with a wild, secret side, Olivia tempts Nicholas in ways he never believed possible – and in his business, a loss of control could prove fatal. But there is something not right about the operation. And as Nicholas and Olivia’s passion reaches a white-hot intensity, chilling reversals of good and evil, of right and wrong, suddenly threaten their very survival. (from the back cover) Nicholas Braden has a special talent. He can locate people and things that no one else can. His work with the Bone Finder organization has captured the attention of a secret government project headed by an immoral man, who wants to control individuals with special abilities and use them as weapons. The longer Nicholas is with the organization, the more questions arise about the veracity of the work. There's one thing that plagues his mind more than all his questions, and that's his bosses stunning assistant. Olivia believes she's serving God and country. She has been schooled on the rights and wrongs of covert life. Olivia has never had problems following the rules before but a recently acquired employee has turned Olivia's world upside down. Nicholas makes her want more, all the things she cannot have.
