Scarred, physically and emotionally, by a long-ago crime of passion, Parker Rieth has dedicated himself to a cold, detached existence as a divorce lawyer. He is utterly unprepared for the effect Kaitlin Stringer has on his heart, mind and soul. Beautiful, ethereal and irresistible, she touches him in a way no other woman has. Though he has vowed to avoid her, his attraction to her is far too tempting.
Kaitlin Stringer has a gift--and a curse. As a psychic healer, the mere touch of another causes a shock to the system. She has learned to build walls around her heart, but they don't keep out the loneliness. But with Parker, things are different. His touch burns in a surprisingly pleasurable way. Hope, that romance is not beyond her reach, is a tantalizing prospect. She knows Parker needs to reconcile his past but will he risk everything for the haven of Kaitlin's embrace? Because, if he doesn't, it will break her heart.
