Beloved Healer — Bonnie Dee

The healing power of love.

His special ability to heal at a touch seems to be slowly draining the life out of Mason Reed. It might be a blessing for the people he heals, but feels like a curse to him. Hiding out in a small town, he just wants to work his menial job while he gets his strength back -- no helping and no entanglements. But when he meets waitress Ava Wheaton, avoiding involvement becomes impossible.

Ava has her plate full working to support herself, her disabled younger brother and her alcoholic mother. She doesn't need the distraction of falling for a stranger who's just passing through, yet can't deny the magnetic attraction between her and Mason. They begin a tentative romance, each finding something they seek in the other.

When Mason's power eventually comes to light, the locals learn his secret and people begin asking for help. He must decide whether to move on to avoid the pressure of their needs. Will he continue to drift through life, not truly committing to anything, or is his relationship with Ava worth fighting for? And when Ava's brother needs his help, will Mason make the ultimate sacrifice for the woman he loves?
