“He just came out of his coma of two years last month. His name is Ian Hayes.”


HEY! this is the sequel to A Subtle Touch Unseen. read that first, please!!!

“‘Sad?’” Ian questioned with a raised brow.

I sighed, not wanting to explain it to him in particular. Unfortunately, I knew Ian wouldn’t relent until I told the truth. “Singles’ Acknowledgment-slash-Awareness Day.  Take your pick.” It didn’t help that the reason for my being single was sitting right in front of me.

Ian smiled and leaned over, closer to me. “So, when are you gonna make me dinner?”

“Trouble in paradise?”

I jumped and momentarily thanked Merlin for the glass preventing me from falling out of the seven story window. Turning to look at the culprit, my glare fell short. “What are you doing in here?”

He shook his head, chuckling to himself, as he took a step closer to me. “I was just going to cut the cobbler, Jenyse.”

My mouth formed a silent O.

“Besides,” he added, with a sarcastically dramatic look, while placing a hand on my cheek, “I could never hurt that pretty face of yours.”
