A Flower Blooms in a Desert

By Leah L.Spada

She thought she was healing. She didn't know she was being hunted.

Kyomi's life was supposed to make sense. As a disciplined Taekwondo instructor, she had strength, stability, and a seven-year relationship with Brandon-until war changed him into someone she could no longer recognize. After enduring his emotional withdrawal and ultimate betrayal, Kyomi is left broken and alone.

A year later, her well-meaning best friend signs her up for hug therapy, hoping to ease her back into connection and touch. But the clinic isn't what it seems. Unbeknownst to Kyomi, it's the center of an FBI sting operation targeting a serial killer who preys on therapy patients.

When Kyomi meets "Jason," a gentle and perceptive touch therapist, she begins to feel something she thought was lost forever: hope. What she doesn't know is that "Jason" is really MacKenzie, an undercover FBI agent-and the widowed father of one of her young martial arts students.

As Kyomi opens up and healing turns into something deeper, Mac fights to keep his cover intact, protect his son, and stop a killer before it's too late. But when secrets collide and lives hang in the balance, Kyomi and Mac must ask themselves:

Can love bloom in the shadow of danger? Or will the truth tear them apart before it even begins?
