Healer's Touch

  • Fantasy
  • Supernatural
  • Romance

The Young Riders meet The Vampire Diaries in this tale of brother versus brother and blood-magic set in a gaslamp fantasy world. Book 1 in the Deadly Touch Trilogy.
 
Llew has a gift. Her body heals itself from any injury, at a cost to anyone nearby.
 
Llew's father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew.
 
Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when her so-called friend accuses Llew of murder, sending her to the gallows.
 
Llew's Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her.
 
Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he has to her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart.
 
But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential.
 
Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavored with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy.

Witches and Dragons don't mix, or so they say. Being born a Witch with Dragon's blood, Aradia had always been a little different. Labeled as the forbidden child. She was given a powerful name and it has rung true as her power was the strongest seen in centuries. After sealing herself away in a lightning orb, Aradia has reawakened to reclaim her coven from her vile aunt who wants to take over. When she finds herself powerless, she now has to rely on her dragon powers that she has little to no knowledge of usage. With the help of four others, Aradia travels to her father's land to learn more about her dragon powers.

A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator...

NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the moment she finally turns her life around. 

That is, until she meets...

AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, in demon terms, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade.

But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human.

Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.

Kliment has finally mustered up the courage to ask out his friend Shashi, the Dom he’s longed to serve since before he even knew his name. Their months getting to know each other have made him want more than what he has with Lochan, the Dom he only serves so his inner Sub won't go crazy. He needs a Dom he can pair with –to surrender complete control to– and Shashi is the one he wants to give power over him.

Unfortunately, he's never done this before, and some college kids aren't as smart as they think they are.

Also some Doms really hate being told no.

Gabriel has been famous since the day he was born. As the youngest son of a top global superhero, the spotlight is blinding. Especially when a series of prolific murders strike their closest friends and allies. The problem? Gabriel's functionally invincible, and only all too willing to take advantage of it if it means putting a stop to the violence.

August Wright's possibly the most powerful Guardian of his generation: he just needs to graduate before anyone else figures that out. He wanted a quiet, responsible life as a mid-ranked hero. Too bad he's been assigned to keep an eye on his polar opposite and the one person most likely to discover his true power: Gabriel Masters.
