Montana and Columbia, South America – Present Day

At the age of nine, Aurelia Salazar's father sold her to the government to run tests on her ability to heal people with her hands.  She has been tested for five years and is now locked in a broken down building in Idaho.  A Marine, Alvara Medina, is her night time guard, and when he sees what Dr. Conrad Jackson has done to her, he decides to break her out and send her to relatives in Columbia, South America.  As they are escaping, Alvara breaks his leg, and the outside night guard, Zack Wind River, finds them.  When he hears Aurelia's story and sees her heal Alvara's leg, he goes along with their story that they were overcome by someone who took her.

Eight years later Zack is working security for his pack of shape shifters.  Alpha Remus is the leader of the pack and also his adopted father, along with his brothers Macon, Eric, David and Synia.  Each person is a different type of shifter; Zack is a coyote.  An emergency meeting lets everyone know there are missing pups from the surrounding area, and Zack and his brothers shift so they can follow their scents.  When they find the three missing children, one is extremely sick, and the doctors can't figure out what is wrong, and soon other missing and recovered children are also getting sick.  Zack remembers Aurelia, and volunteers to find Alvara and see if she will come help the ill children.

Aurelia is still living far away from civilization in Columbia, and she's the local healer.  She remembers Alvara and Zack saving her and quickly agrees to return to try to help the children; although she mainly heals injuries, she isn't sure illnesses inside the body are something she can help cure.  Zack confirms his feelings from years ago that she is his mate, and Aurelia loves how he is devoted to her safety.

As soon as Zack contacts Alvara, Conrad Jackson, who has been keeping watch over him all these years, is just one step behind them.  He knew Alvara was involved, and at the first chance Aurelia will be back in his grip to harvest her eggs and see if they can create other healers.  His power reaches a long way.

Missy Martine has created a different world of shape shifters living together in harmony, and Alpha Remus going along with the crazy idea of a woman who can touch people and heal them, but he has no better ideas and approves the trip and enlists the aid of other shape shifter communities to help.  Told from Zack's and Aurelia's points of view, Zack is anxious to find out whether what he felt for Aurelia all those years ago was the mate scent, and if it is, he is willing to devote his life to protecting her and keeping her safe.  Aurelia has spent years in the backwoods of Columbia, living by herself with only Alvara's relatives for company.

THE TOUCH OF HER HANDS is an unusual story that follows BLIND ACCEPTANCE and AN OFFICER AND TWO GENTLEMEN.  We still don't know who or what is stealing the packs pups or what it is that they put inside their bodies.  You will enjoy your journey with Zack to find his mate and whether she can heal someone from an illness.  The Wind River Pack invites you to join them for an exciting story.
