empath
A gift or a curse? Jordan Langley’s every touch of other
human beings transmits their deepest feelings to him. Detective
Lauren Sadler blocks her emotions so she can do her job. When
a murder case brings them together, will Lauren yield to the
power of the most intimate exchange she’s ever known?
For nearly two years, Jordan has lived like a hermit, avoiding
the world that affects him too deeply. He had spent his life
dealing with his “gift” of empathy until a traumatic
event drove him into seclusion. Now a friend needs his help
to reach an autistic boy who has witnessed a murder.
Lauren Sadler, the detective on the case, believes in Jordan’s
ability after seeing the results of his touch on the boy. She
doesn’t count on how that touch will influence her. In
the midst of the investigation, the couple shares a passionate
night. But Lauren’s not ready to open up to deep intimacy
when her trust in herself has been shattered.
Solving the murder and coming to terms with love will challenge
them both, bringing each to a new awareness of what they have
to offer each other and the world.
