Science and faith face off in this lovely contemporary romance novel full of lovable and witty characters. Ever since I fell in love with Jake as a child, I've thought of him and me as opposites that would complement each other. I'm a psychic medium who works with spirits and tarot cards while Jake is a scientist who only believes in things that can be proven with hard data. Unfortunately, adulthood has only increased our differences and to Jake, and everyone around us, we're more like clashing colors that should avoid mixing. Although I can clear a house of spirits, I have no clue how to clear my heart of Jake. Violet is called upon by a group of scientists to investigate supernatural phenomena in their lab. It could be her chance to prove to Jake, her longtime crush, that what she does is valid. But can she produce evidence strong enough for the biggest skeptic to believe that all psychics aren't frauds? And if she succeeds will he finally see her as more than his best friend's younger sister? Contains mature themes.
