Yeah, that was her story and she was sticking to it.<\/p>\n<p>Though all she had to do was recall one tiny detail, and her body flushed with heat and desire and tingled all over&#8211;as if Slade\u2019s dream touch had been real and her body was remembering his caresses.<\/p>\n<p>There was something about the man that instinctively called to her. It was as though he was somehow a part of a memory long buried deep inside her. Although she\u2019d been furious with him she still felt an undeniable pull to him. As though their souls recognized in each other a kindred spirit.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stop it right there. <\/em>Summer sat up in bed and leaned back against the pillows and headboard. Going there would only bring back painful memories. Try as hard as she could, she wasn\u2019t able to stop the flow of thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>The Fabrizio Gypsy Clan had been preternatural Healers. Blessed at birth with abnormally long life spans and a healing power beyond modern comprehension, each member knew his or her life\u2019s destiny was to be in the service of the Shamara Dragon Clans as their Healers.<\/p>\n<p>Centuries ago, the two Clans commingled, sharing the island with others. Circumstances too old to remember, had forced the Clans to form a life-and-death pact. The Shamara dragons would be their protectors, their guardians, and the Fabrizio gypsies would be their Healers. They had lived that way in peace for centuries. Until&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Too young to remember the events leading up to that night, she was scarred forever by the memory.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, she had survived the horrific slaughter of her entire Clan and family. Her grandmother, Rawnie\u2014ancient even in gypsy years\u2014had hid her in a veil of magic. Although no one could see the tiny child, Summer could see all that happened. She had watched in horrified shock as her family was cruelly slaughtered by the horde of Air Dragons.<\/p>\n<p>The very dragons sworn to protect them.<\/p>\n<p>After the massacre Rawnie fled with Summer to the mainland. Fearing she wouldn\u2019t live long enough to raise the child, Rawnie taught her everything she needed to know of her history, her Clan\u2019s laws, and her healing powers. Highly intelligent for her age, Summer soaked up the valuable information and stored it away in her memories.<\/p>\n<p>When she turned five, Rawnie told her it was time for her to go to another home. Summer could vaguely recall her grandmother being tense and worried during that time. Then, one day a man came, and her whole life changed. Reed Bowen claimed he was a distant relative and. Rawnie handed Summer over to him.<\/p>\n<p>Summer could still hear Rawnie\u2019s last words: \u201cBe brave, child. Stay hidden. Never let anyone know of your heritage. Never. Learn to live this new life you\u2019re going to. Be safe. And always remember I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reed never mentioned Summer\u2019s past and she never discussed it with him. Rawnie had told her that Reed was human and wouldn\u2019t understand. He only knew she was an orphan and her family had all been killed in one night.<\/p>\n<p>Summer grew up keeping a precious life-or-death secret from Reed and from the world.<\/p>\n<p>That secret had kept her isolated from everyone around her.\u00a0 It was no wonder she was having too-vivid sex dreams about a man she\u2019d just met. Slade was the first man she\u2019d ever felt physically attracted to. She\u2019d dated in college, but never had a serious relationship. Once home and set up as a child psychiatrist, she\u2019d devoted her life to helping children and had used work as an excuse not to date. She was always too busy. <em>Yeah, <\/em><em>right. Too scared is more truthful.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If she didn\u2019t date, she wouldn\u2019t be drawn into a relationship, and she wouldn\u2019t have to keep a secret from a man she cared about. Ha! <em>What sane man would believe the story any- way? Oh, by the way, I\u2019m the last survivor of an ancient gypsy clan that once lived with a clan of dragons. Yes, dear, I said dragons. And did I mention I have supernatural healing powers<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3216\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/04\/surrender-her-touch-by-kari-thomas\/karis-headshot\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Karis-Headshot.jpg?fit=250%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"250,250\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kari&amp;#8217;s Headshot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Karis-Headshot.jpg?fit=250%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3216\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Karis-Headshot.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kari Thomas\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Karis-Headshot.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Karis-Headshot.jpg?w=250&amp;ssl=1 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 85vw, 150px\" \/>KARI THOMAS<br \/>\n<\/strong>Kari Thomas is an award-winning author of paranormal romance.
