Empathy — Carolyn Wren

Oliver Lord belongs to one of three special families, empaths who feel emotions as a physical sense. Quiet and reserved, and accustomed to keeping his abilities hidden, Oliver is drawn inexorably to a woman he's never met. The woman who made his brother's last year of life so happy. When Zoe Daniels, talented sculptor, loses her fiancé before their wedding, she can't imagine finding love again, until she meets Jasper's unknown brother, a man so different, yet so achingly familiar to the man she adored. What is Oliver's secret, and why is he so determined to keep her at arm's length? A violent kidnapping and murder forces the empaths from the shadows to seek justice for one of their own. Oliver turns to Zoe, needing her comfort and love. Can she accept him for who he is? Oliver and two powerful empathic friends need to track down the kidnappers before they strike again, but how do you solve a murder, when your only clue is emotion?
