This Time When We Touch — Tina Donahue

Through numerous reincarnations, Jade Jacome has adored one man. His love for her has repeatedly led to her murder, always on the same day and time. Jade's scientific research proves this is their final rebirth, her last chance to outwit destiny and fulfill their passion. Against a backdrop of Brazil's lushly decadent Carnaval, Jade has forty-eight hours to meet and tempt her lover, now known as Patrick Kane, then break fate's deadly pattern. Irresistibly drawn to Rio, Patrick senses Jade's yearning that matches his. Seeing her again, time stops. Though they've never met in this life, he feels their connection, and that she's in danger because of him. Baffled and unsettled, Patrick resists his attraction to Jade to keep her safe. In a contest of wills and shameless seduction, Jade must gamble all, even her life, before the anniversary of their first separation or risk losing Patrick forever.
