An Awkward Encounter

Lingering Touch is a second chance romance. They have a tumultuous past that results in an equally tumultuous reunion.

LINGERING TOUCH

The Summer Park Psychics, book three

The whirlpool that ensnared him vanished. Finn was on all fours on the floor, his right knee sending sharp spikes of pain to his brain. Before he could register what was going on, a strong, slender hand clasped his right wrist and pulled that arm out from under him, then twisted it around behind his back. His assailant jammed their knee into his back, further throwing him off balance so that he fell forward onto his face.

“Struggle and I will dislocate your shoulder.”

Jazz.

Christ, her voice was sexy even when she was pulling his arm out of its socket. Trying to, anyway. She twisted his arm a bit further, just like he had taught her, making pain arc through him intense enough to beat out the throbbing in his knee for a moment.

“Ow.”

The pressure lessened a miniscule amount. “Finn?”

Dammit. Why was he flattered that she knew it was him from one word? His idiotic heart was doing flips in his chest, as if it didn’t remember her stepping on it. Repeatedly.

“Hi, sweetie,” he said. “Thought I’d drop by and check out the gallery for old time’s sake.”

“In the middle of the night.”

“I was trying to avoid an awkward encounter.”

“How’s that working for you?”
