The Touch Heidi Fawkes

A wonderfully evocative and moving mystery romance novella with an unexpected twist in the tail. For a brief moment Beth Brown feels the world is going to end. A crazy lorry driver runs her off the road and rear-ends another, killing the driver. Into the midst of this turmoil walks Matt Taylor, a dashing police detective who tells her everything is going to be fine. And it is. At the trial the lorry driver is found guilty and, even better, Matt asks her out. Spurred on by their mutual attraction and the joy they find in each other's company, Beth thinks she may have found The One! But all is not so simple. As their relationship develops. Beth finds herself being touched gently and protectively in the strangest of circumstances and as a result Matt's mystery increases. For he has a 'dark secret' that explains why such a desirable man is still single and when Beth is invited to his flat for dinner this secret is revealed. The only question is, 'Will it spoil their relationship?' Beautifully constructed and switching perspective from Beth to Matt, this beguiling and fascinating romantic tale will keep you guessing right to the very last sentence.
