Taralyn is a telepath tormented by guilt after the mind-wipe of her adopted daughter. When she steals the child and flees Earth, she is pursued by Asher, an Enforcer of the dreaded psychic police force. Asher hunts fugitive mindbenders with an enthusiasm usually reserved for mass murderers. As Taralyn searches the galaxy for sanctuary, Asher is always one step behind. Over time, she finds that a bond has grown between the hunted and her hunter. She cannot banish his face from her dreams. But is it love that draws her to him--or mind control?
