Touched
Dylan was a tough, rational, no-nonsense detective who didn’t have time for faith, until his wife died suddenly, and he found himself angry at the God he didn’t believe existed. Sarah changes everything. She is intelligent, accomplished, and incredibly beautiful; she renews his hope, reignites his passion, and opens the door to new faith. That faith is tested when Sarah reveals she was Touched by God when she was healed of Tuberculosis— in 1736. Despite his reservations, Dylan chooses to believe Sarah and soon joins her in her quest to find others who have been Touched. After discovering several people who have been alive for centuries, Dylan also discovers victims of brutal human experimentation, torture, and murder, and must solve the biggest case of his life before time runs out for the Touched.

When a well-known cotton broker is mysteriously murdered, Nathan must defend an innocent colored woman against an angry white jury. His case becomes even more dangerous when he breaks the law himself: he falls in love with his client.
