Romance Paranormal | Romance | Romance Erotica Sensual

In the year 2034 alien life has finally made contact with Earth. The Lepids, short for Lepidoptera or butterfly, the Earth species they most resemble, are a self-proclaimed peace-loving species.

Dr. Laura Albright is a 'Sensitive', one of the few people on Earth capable of communicating with the peaceful aliens via their emotions-based language. Because of her hyper- empathy, the same gift or curse which allows her to communicate with the Lepids, contact with other humans is a painful experience to the touch-sensitive Laura.

Detective Vincent Roberts works in Homicide at the Tampa PD. It isn't easy being a black man in a country that has been racially divided for the past fifteen years, and it gets harder for Vince when young, ethnic women begin disappearing from around downtown Tampa.

Most of the young women are 'throwaways' that nobody cares about, but then Vince's own little sister is taken. As he searches frantically for her, all the clues point to the supposedly peaceful Lepids. As the last 'Sensitive' left in the city, Laura is the only person who can help him in the investigation. She agrees to help Vince uncover the truth.

But as the forbidden sexual tension grows between the detective and the scientist, the only answer may lie in Laura's hyper-empathy-her inability to touch and be touched and Vince's ability to touch her.

Rating: Contains violence, explicit sexual content, and graphic language.
