Healing Touch

Love can be a lifeline. As thrilled as Luke Malone is for his best friends, Kurt and Becca, enough is enough. The couple welcomed him into their lives, and their bed. But lately, he’s feeling less like a participant in their happiness…and more like an intruder. Yet when a beautiful woman comes to his sexual psychology practice, Luke is forced to turn her away. It’s not that he doesn’t want to help her, it’s that he wants her. Too much to stay impartial. Brielle Norris would rather have a root canal than see a shrink. But she’s had enough of letting the scars from an abusive relationship rule her life. Knees knocking, she steps into the psychologist’s office-and runs right into a tall, handsome man whose gilded perfection makes her own quirky faults even more painfully obvious. She never expected he’d hand her off to one of his colleagues-then take a personal support role in the unconventional treatment she needs to heal. In tandem with Kurt and Becca, Luke strives to teach Brielle that not all relationships end in disaster. At least this one won’t-if he can keep her safe when her past rears its ugly head.
