Hunted By The Past
PSY-IV Teams #1
by Jami
Gray
BOOK BLURB:
A
reluctant psychic who can relive the past, a man well versed in keeping
secrets, and a psychopathic killer enter a deadly game where the past
determines the future.
Changing the past is an impossibility ex-Marine,
Cynthia “Cyn” Arden, understands all too well. Struggling in the aftermath of a
botched mission, which cost her two teammates, her military career, and a
fledging relationship, she’s brought home by a panicked phone call. The psychic killer behind her nightmares has
escaped military custody to hunt down the remaining teammates, one by one. Next
on his murderous list--Cyn. Her only chance at survival is to master the
psychic ability she’s spent years denying.
The killer’s game brings her face to face with the one
person guaranteed to throw her off kilter—the unsettling and distracting man
she left behind, Kayden Shaw. Once she
believed he’d stand by her side, until he chose his job and his secrets over
her. A choice that’s left the scars of
the past etched deep on her mind and heart.
To survive this twisted game, Cyn must risk trusting
her heart and accepting who and what she is, or lose not only her life, but the
man she loves.

“Tag,”
his name came out as a warning of my waning patience. My fingers tightened
around the phone, and it took an amazing amount of will power to not share my
own colorful vocabulary. “You need to tell me what’s going on. Right. Now.” The
last two words emerged around gritted teeth.
“It’s about
Flash. His killer is out.” His unexpected answer stabbed deep, drawing blood
under my skin. Brutal memories boiled up and I almost missed his, “Stay with
Kayden, Cyn.”
The
drone of a dial tone filled my ear. My
world spun. I concentrated on setting the phone back in the cradle. My legs
were doing a great impression of spaghetti noodles, so I let them fold under me
and sat on the cool tile. Six months, I’d run as hard, as fast and as far as I
could, but in a matter of minutes I was right back where I started, trapped in
a never-ending nightmare.
You
have to wonder which fickle fate decided to dump everything on me at once. If I ever got my hands on her, I’d beat her
to a pulp. Damn, damn, and triple damn!
The
past surged, breaking through to rise in a swamping wave of ghostly screams and
the stench of burnt flesh. I dug my fingers deep into my thigh muscles in a
desperate attempt to stave it off. No
such luck. Greedy memories sucked me down.
My
kitchen disappeared, replaced by a fetid alley behind a dive in
Where-the-fuckistan. Sprawled on the ground, my head spinning with dizzying
sickness and my leg screaming with agony, all I could do was watch and
listen. Watch the spreading pool of
blood and brains seep from Ortega, his sightless eyes staring past me. Listen to the snap and crackle of a raging
fire hissed through the night while the smell of burning flesh wrapped around
me. Behind me, someone screamed, his wail high-pitched and full of hopeless
agony.
I knew that broken voice.
Even
as excruciating pain beat inside my skull, I turned my head, recognizing the
figure in the midst of the hellish scene. Searing loss, rage, and fear rose to
a scream. My mouth opened and the stench coiled down my throat, blocking the
air in my chest. No, no, no!
The shocking
feel of hands against my face snapped my paralysis, bringing a touch of the
present into the past. Desperate to escape, ignoring the pain radiating down my
leg and through my head. I struck out, my hand connecting with flesh. “Don’t
touch me!”
Harsh
breathing filled the air around me. It
took a few seconds to realize it was coming from me. A few more before the low soothing voice
penetrated the layers of the past. “Come
on back, Cyn. You’re safe.”
