Shadow of a Man — Denise N. Wheatley

Veronica Level has a gift. She can read minds -- but only during the intense bouts of danger that have plagued her throughout her life. And it is Drake Lancaster, a mysterious, centuries-old vigilante, transformed into a dark enigmatic shadow by an evil curse, who has always been there to protect her.

Despite the perils surrounding their every encounter, neither Veronica nor Drake can deny their desire for one another, especially now that Veronica's gift has shown her the seductively handsome man hidden behind the shadow's spell. But just how far will they go to break the curse so they can finally be together, before endangering Veronica's life?
