Layla Harper has spent years building walls around her heart, using her art and her café as a shield against a world that has let her down too many times. Haunted by betrayal and a painful past, trust is a luxury she can't afford-until she meets Marcus Wright.
Marcus, a charming and steadfast man with a quiet strength, sees beyond Layla's defenses. He's a man who knows what he wants, and what he wants is to help Layla rediscover the beauty in love and life. As their worlds collide, Marcus offers her the one thing she's convinced herself she can't have: happiness.
But the path to healing isn't smooth. Layla must confront her past, face her fears, and learn to let someone in, even when it feels impossible. With Marcus by her side, she begins a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the courage to dream again.
In this heartfelt story of second chances and unwavering love, Layla and Marcus prove that even the deepest scars can bloom into something beautiful when nurtured by trust and devotion. Will Layla risk her fragile heart to embrace the love she deserves, or will fear keep her locked away from her own happy ending?
"Healing Touches" is an emotional, uplifting romance about two souls finding the strength to trust, heal, and build a future together-one brushstroke of love at a time.

His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor.
