Touched By Fire

Description for TOUCHED BY FIRE by Catherine Spangler:

Since a brutal attack on her sister eleven years ago, Marla Reynolds has been emotionally frozen -- but one man’s passion could melt her defenses . . .

For the past eleven years, Marla has avoided relationships with men. Then she meets Luke Paxton in a Houston bar and is upended by an intense attraction she doesn’t understand. But Luke does -- it is an energy he must harness to achieve his goals. He is a Sentinel, a member of an ancient superhuman race. His purpose on Earth is to track unimaginable evil, and he needs Marla -- willing or not -- to help him focus his psychic powers.

Kidnapped by Luke, who insists he’s a reincarnated Atlantian and that she’s a matched conductor for him, Marla thinks he’s totally crazy. But his superpowers and the undeniable link between them convince her otherwise. She agrees to work with him to track down a bomber that’s leaving a path of destruction across Texas.

Luke tries to resist his growing feelings for Marla, but as he draws her deeper into a supernatural world, he finds himself torn between protecting humanity -- or yielding to the fire of her touch…

This is #2 in The Sentinel Series.
