Summary

It's not easy being Jinx.  
Jean Honeychurch hates her boring name (not Jean Marie, or Jeanette, just . . . Jean). What's worse? Her all-too-appropriate nickname, Jinx. Misfortune seems to follow her everywhere she goes—even to New York City, where Jinx has moved to get away from the huge mess she caused in her small hometown. Her aunt and uncle welcome her to their Manhattan town house, but her beautiful cousin Tory isn't so thrilled. . . .  
In fact, Tory is hiding a dangerous secret—one that could put them all in danger. Soon Jinx realizes it isn't just bad luck she's been running from . . . and that the curse she has lived under since the day she was born may be the only thing that can save her life.
Available since: 10/06/2010.

    "It came out of nowhere. A sweep of emotions. Love, pain, trust, doubt. It was all in a pattern, hard to describe, but somehow like when you finally understand someone who you’ve been trying to figure out for a long, long time. Everything clicked into place. There was beauty, purity, bravery, the ability to suffer, sacrifice. It was all there, enveloping me with perfection." 
    When head-driven Med student Adam has an emotional vision of Claire, he doesn’t yet understand the dimensions by which his life is about to change.  
    His new ability to sense people’s feelings is only the beginning of the roller coaster of supernatural he is thrown onto as he sets out to find Claire. There is an unknown heritage slumbering within him, waiting to be unleashed. 
    And his love for her puts them both in danger. 
    If only he had the strength to let her go...
