With one touch, Leila can see it all.
Leila Marx is trying to put her life back together after her fiancé is murdered. When Detective Garrick Pearson enlists her help with a difficult case, she is thankful for the distraction and the opportunity to use her talents as a touch clairvoyant. Leila and Garrick delve into the mystery behind a series of missing teenage girls and mummified corpses while discovering their own growing attraction to each other.
Conner Hoffman is an intriguing lawyer and striking half-demon who enters Leila’s life unexpectedly. Although her visions are terrifying, she is fascinated by his charm and his legacy. When it becomes evident that the murders are linked to a paranormal event, Conner introduces Leila to a world unbeknownst to ordinary society. She suddenly finds herself immersed in supernatural politics, sorcery, and danger as she becomes the killer’s next target.
Staying alive will mean relying on friends, accepting the unbelievable, and trusting in her heart again.

POV - Conner and Leila’s First Date
Human souls still had their appeal and the restaurant vibrated with them tonight. Taking in an extra long breath, I relished in the energy. I may not need to collect them anymore, but I did enjoy identifying which ones I might have marked.
The
bartender, for example, would have earned me an extra slap on the
back. Beneath his smile and flirtatious act, he hid a dark secret. He
enjoyed the hunt as much as me, but what he did to the ladies once he
got them home, was unacceptable. Yes, my father would have been happy
to acquire him.
A
small hand grabbed my shoulder for support. Sara climbed on the bar
stool again, body in constant motion. Her excitement made me
appreciate what my new life could be. Now that the contract with my
demon father was complete, I could fully enjoy living with the humans
for the next millennia.
“There
she is!” Sara said, jumping down from her seat and rushing over to
the door. Her husband, Ben, smiled and shook his head.
“Is
she always like this?” I asked.
He
laughed before finishing his drink. “It’s why I love her.” Ben
patted my shoulder. “Don’t worry, Conner, she’s great.”
I
raised my eyebrows.
“Leila,”
he clarified. “You’ll like her.”
I
nodded. Did he sense my nervousness? I moved here just a few weeks
ago, hoping to start fresh. The last thing I wanted to do was go on a
blind date, but Ben had been persistent.
“Looks
like she’s talking about you,” Ben said, nudging me in the side.
I
turned around, shocked at what I saw. My skin tingled and a red tint
flooded my vision, setting the cambion senses on alert. Of all the
women in Baltimore, I’d been set up with a supernatural.
Ben
laughed again, communicating silently with Leila while admiring his
wife. Forcing my eyes back to their human color, I took a moment to
assess my date. Blonde hair, long legs, great smile, and a
clairvoyant. I would have to be careful.
Sara
dragged her friend over to us, nearly tripping on her high heels.
Knowing this might be trouble, I still couldn’t tear my eyes away
from Leila. Her soul hummed with power. I focused on protecting my
secret and tried to act human.
“Conner,”
Sara said, “This is Leila. Leila Marx. And Leila, this is Conner
Hoffman.”
I
glanced at her one more time, concentrating so my eyes would not
react to her beauty. Her cheeks flushed and she looked down at the
floor. Amused at her reaction to me, I smiled.
“Leila,
it is very nice to meet you. I’ve heard so much, but to see you in
person is truly a delight.”
Gently
lifting her hand to my mouth, I kissed it. The touch sent shivers
through my body, warning me to be careful but reminding me what it
could be like. I wanted to live as a human again, and Leila Marx
might be the key to making that happen.
“I
didn’t tell him anything,” Ben joked. “I’m going to grab our
table.”
Leila
looked straight into my eyes, searching for something, before I let
go of her hand. I’ve met clairvoyants before, and I guessed Leila’s
gift relied on touch. Her forehead creased ever so slightly in
confusion. She had tried to read me.
I
smiled, knowing I could only hide my secret so long with this
beautiful woman.
