Lingering Touch

The memory of his touch has never left her heart…or her body.

Finn Connelly has a magic touch—literally. He can see the past by touching objects and read people's thoughts if he hangs on long enough. It's called psychometry, and he uses it to be the best private investigator in Summer Park. At least, until his abilities go out of control, leaving him unable to tell the difference between others' thoughts and memories and his own.

Enter Jazz Zhou, the only woman he ever loved and could never read. Jazz is reeling from nearly losing her closest friends to a serial killer—a man she brought into their lives. When she learns that Finn is suffering because of a connection he shares with one of the killer's victims, she's determined to help him.

Their investigation takes them to the killer's hometown, where they learn the threat to Jazz's friends isn't as over as they thought—and neither is their relationship. But the more Finn uses his powers, the more he loses himself. And soon even Jazz's touch might not be enough to help him claw his way back out of the madman's memories. Will they learn to move beyond their past or will they lose their love and their lives to a killer?
