How do you know when you should reveal a secret?  Simone is a psychic who’s still trying to get control over her gift, but she knows more than she’s letting on when she meets policeman, Connor Galbraith. 

Simone sees something dark in Connor’s past, and her psychic aunts tell her she can’t reveal all that she feels when she receives impressions from the handsome man.  Further, her visions tell her there is no future for her with this policeman.  So why is she so drawn to him? 

Connor uses Simone’s psychic ability to find a kidnapped child.  While he’s skeptical of her gift, she locates the missing child.  The rub to that is that if she isn’t psychic, she must be one of the bad guys.  His attraction to her overpowers his objectivity. 

Crossing the Line is a story about a policeman crossing the line between personal and professional and a psychic determining what she can safely divulge and what she needs to keep hidden.  I’m not quite sure what the consequences of telling too much would be - opening a portal - but Simone seemed concerned about it.  The plot was passable and the characters engaging, but I found this story hard to read.  The dialog was stilted and there were some editorial errors that were missed.  My apologies to the author knowing how much hard work goes into writing, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t recommend this one.
