Wen knows what love looks like. Since her mom died over a year ago, she’s seen it every day on her orphaned younger brother’s face. Wen’s made good on her promise to her mom that she’d take care of Ezra, even quitting her carefree party-girl ways to become a hard-working college student so she can provide for him. Wen knows what love feels like, too. Because when she touches people, she feels what they do. "Uniquely perceptive" is what her mom called it, and Wen’s not going to argue; she doesn’t know any different. But an energy therapy study changes not only what Wen knows about her unusual gift; it also changes her. Now, instead of feeling emotions, her touch brings death to others. No one is safe around her, especially Ezra. Wen turns to energy healers for help. And that’s where she meets him: Mr. Tenacious and Audacious, Gabe Dumas. He knows about love, too; he speaks it in ways Wen has never experienced. And he’s never even touched her. With her heart unravelling, Wen discovers a world only she can see. It may offer hope for her condition… or it may be better left hidden. \*Intended for 16 and up

After a month of living a semi-normal life with her condition, Wen would rather not think about scary things like the fact that her ability became more powerful all on its own. Or that Louise is still roaming free. Or that she's about to be married to Gabriel and she has no idea how they'll manage being unable to touch each other. But the questions won't leave her alone and she's desperate for answers. Wen believes those answers begin with Subject Number Three, the only person known to have survived touching her lethal skin. When her Uncle Robert finally locates the woman, Wen is sure that an end to her problems is within her grasp. She's wrong. They've only just begun. Now, hope for a cure to Wen's condition is crumbling, Kaylen is missing, and a horrifying accident with her brother leaves Wen desperate and terrified. Just when she thinks she can't take much more, Gabriel, the one person Wen thought she could count on, suddenly becomes the one person she fears the most.

Every kid dreams of having superpowers. Wendy has the power to give them, and the wrong people know. Now that Wendy has Gabriel back for good, and her brother and adopted sister are by her side, she's not worried. She has lived with a death touch long enough to know that there are worse things than being on the run from a few crazies. But when Carl, Wendy's long-lost father, turns up unexpectedly, he shatters her new found happiness with a warning: Wendy's skin is not the only thing about her that's lethal. This time, however, Wendy isn't running scared. She can share the colorworld with the people who can touch her, and she's hell-bent on winning against the odds. But Wendy soon learns that all miracles come with a price.

But losing her supernatural abilities has turned out to be much harder to adapt to than she thought. Now Wendy is pregnant, and the prospect of being a mother has Wendy fearing she'll never find "normal". With Robbie's birth, Wendy finds renewed determination to love life the way she once did. Her new found faith is shaken, when she learns that Robbie's life will be cut short by a genetic disease. In the midst of mourning for the life her son won't have, Wendy finds that Mike, Gabriel's brother, has been incommunicado for many months. Immediately following the news of Mike, Wendy receives cryptic instructions from Robert, her Uncle, that just might be the key to saving her son. The answer to both Mike and Robbie take Wendy to Los Angeles. But within an hour of her plan landing Wendy is taken, and Robbie isn't the only one whose life is on the line.
