She's given up on finding love...

Veterinarian Shelley Morgan has always preferred animals to humans, and not simply because she can communicate with them psychically.

Determined to track down the animals and their thief, the telepathic vet decides to investigate, unknowingly delving into a deadly mystery...

But the thefts escalate to murder and all the evidence points to Shelley as the killer, and Dev faces a devastating choice: forsake his career or risk losing the woman he's grown to love...
