A STRANGER'S TOUCH is the second installment of Ms.
London's suspense trilogy about three sisters, born three
minutes apart, each with a special gift. Tempest, the
middle born and a fighter by nature, can hold any object
(or touch any person) with her naked hands and know its
history. Tempest wears gloves to protect herself, and all
the sisters are vulnerable by water.
Tempest blames herself for her father's death and will
always seek to reach him, even beyond the limits of life,
to say "I'm sorry." She's always respected her powers, but
she's shut herself away from the world. Tempest will do
anything to save her family and she gets that chance by
acquiring an ancient brooch that might unlock secrets of
the past. How is this brooch linked to her family? Why do
her mother and sister dream of it and the Viking wearing
it? Will it reveal the secrets of the special powers handed
down from mother to daughters? It doesn't come to her
easily. There's a catch!
Marcus Greystone, the owner of the brooch, comes charging
back into Tempest's life with a bargain for her. For 21
years, Marcus has been yearning to uncover the secrets of
the suspected hit-and-run accident that killed his parents.
Now, it's in the cold case files, having exhausted all
avenues -- almost.
It was a one-night stand and Marcus and Tempest have not
seen each other since. Tempest wants the brooch, Marcus
wants answers. If this beautiful, sensual, unique and
exotic woman with special powers can find out who was
driving the truck that killed his parents, Marcus will give
her the brooch. The bargain is set.
Now begins an amazing series of events, a roller coaster
ride that leaves you craving answers. A STRANGER'S TOUCH is
a suspenseful, unique and highly creative thriller that
takes your breath away. It's heart-pounding with an ending
that's an adventure all by itself. If you like a good
whodunit, this one is for you.
Tempest, Claire, and Leona: contemporary triplets blessed --
or cursed -- each with a special extra sense they would
deny, given the chance. The descendents of a Celtic seer,
the captive bride of a Viking chieftain, these triplets are
connected by birth and in psychic ability.
Born with the uncanny ability to learn everything about a
person or object just by the touch of her naked
hands,Tempest must wear protective gloves. She wears them
with her one night lover, and now he's hunting her, the man
she could never forget. Marcus Greystone, a powerful tough
businessman, has the ancient relic Tempest must have to
protect her family, and now she must bargain with him. He
must have the answers to a 21-year-old mystery, the name of
his parents' killer, and he's not letting Tempest escape.
Marcus has never forgotten the sensuous night he and
Tempest shared -- before she left his bed without a word.
This time he wants Tempest's naked hands on him.
Claire and Leona, Tempest's sisters, and her mother, a
world-famous psychic fear for Tempest, but they are
helpless to protect her. Tempest's adventurous blood leans
more toward her Viking ancestry and nothing can stop her as
she takes very challenge in her way, including Marcus.
Port Salem, on the shores of Lake Michigan, presents an
ominous reminder of what can happen to psychics. Violence
from her past stalks Tempest as she hunts for clues in the
cold case, and Marcus isn't letting her out of his sight.
But another danger lurks nearby, when a killer wants to
keep his secrets buried and he's willing to kill again.
Note: Claire's story, AT THE EDGE, is now on
sale. Leona's is FOR HER EYES ONLY, 10/08.
