Touched by Danger

From USA Today best seller Wendy Vella comes an exciting Regency series about legend, love, and destiny, with a hint of magic…

Healer Essex Sinclair understands her family’s heightened senses are a result of a long-ago pact between the Sinclairs and the powerful Raven family, but has always struggled to feel worthy of bearing the legendary Sinclair name. Unlucky in love, Essie has resolved to live a quiet, solitary life as a healer and leave passion to the young and foolish. When Max Huntington falls into her herb garden, a bullet hole in his side, her only intention is to heal him quickly and send him on his way. Then she touches him, and from that moment on, fate steps in with dangerous consequences for them both.

Someone wants Max dead. It was only the actions of his beautiful healer that saved him. Miss Sinclair is sweet, determined, and makes him yearn for things he’d long left in the past. His deliberate fabrication has her believing him a penniless nobody and his caress has her yielding, but Max must lie and leave for Essie's own good. When brokenhearted Essie returns to London, she once again encounters Max and discovers his true identity. Horrified and angry that yet another man has played her for a fool, she vows to have nothing more to do with him, but destiny won’t be denied, and soon they are embroiled in a desperate chase to find his would-be killer before he finds them first.
