At fourteen, Natalie Morgan was declared clinically dead, the victim of a brutal attack by her abusive mother's boyfriend, a man she barely knew. Even so, against all odds, Natalie was revived on that fateful night; she took full advantage of her second chance with the help of an unlikely stranger named Bernie. What she couldn't have prepared for was her extraordinary, newfound ability to hear the voices of the dead as a result of her encounter with death.
Now a successful psychologist, Natalie helps at-risk kids, using her psychic ability by quietly feeding the information she receives from these deceased victims to the Sarasota Police. She has managed to put the horrific incident of her youth behind her-that is, until two local teenage girls are murdered within weeks of each other, and one of the victims contacts Natalie with disturbing information.
Jake Riggs, the FBI agent assigned to the case, makes no effort to conceal his disdain for being forced to work with a psychic; however, hidden behind his dismissal of Natalie's abilities and the unexplainable coincidences in the case is a powerful attraction he cannot deny.
When the case takes a too-personal turn after the killer suddenly targets Natalie, she knows that if she is to survive a second time, Jake must learn to believe the unbelievable.

Just Out of Reach: A Novel
Chapter One
Sarasota Springs, Florida May 2011"Why do you think that made you angry, Danny?" Natalie posed the question to the slender, dark-haired boy who sat across from her, watching as he intently drew designs with his fingers on the green suede fabric of the chair, only to erase them with a quick swipe of his hand.
Daniel Henderson was a sullen eight-year-old who had been referred to her by Judge Edwards of the Twelfth Circuit's Dependency Court several months earlier, and she'd just listened to him crossly recount the most recent incident in a long line of incidents that had eventually landed him here in her office. He had been in foster care for most of his life, transferring from family to family, and was quickly becoming too difficult to handle because of his ever-escalating behavioral issues. No wonder, Natalie thought. There was no stability or constancy in his life, nothing and no one he could count on.
Danny had recently been temporarily placed with Joe and Melinda Talbot, who were trying but clearly struggling to understand—and control—him. The Talbots already had two other troubled foster children in their home, and Natalie knew that wasn't always the best situation for a child like Danny. He needed less chaos, more attention. But it was the best the system could do until they could arrange for a more permanent solution. Good foster parents were few and far between, she knew.
