Healing Hands

They team up to find a healer, but the truth could tear them apart.

After six quiet months, the Wilcox clan's witch-finding software finally gets a ping. The article is cloaked in careful, journalistic neutrality, but Laurel Wilcox knows a solid lead when she sees one. 

Soon Laurel's headed for Lake Tahoe to hunt for a healer who mysteriously appears when he's needed, then disappears into the forest. She hopes she won't screw up her first solo mission - and betray her clan's trust. Which is why it's the worst possible time to be attracted to a handsome, non-witch civilian.

Jason Ludlow's dual abilities of altering his appearance and hiding his spark of magic from other witch-kind make him ideally suited to hunt for the elusive healer his clan desperately needs. He never expected to meet another witch - a distractingly pretty Wilcox witch - on the same mission.

Both hiding their motives behind white lies, Laurel and Jason team up to find the healer...and give in to an attraction that's both comfortable and sensually intense. But their idyll can't last. When the truth comes out, they could lose everything...their clans' trust, their mission, and each other.
