More than once Rick has wished he was normal and could just shift between two forms, but he's a plain old human.
Well, human with a magical touch talent that forces people to tell the truth whenever he makes skin contact with them. Which is really not such a great thing. Sure, it's perfect for his secret job and interrogating people, but it's not so hot when it comes to dating. It's why he's in his thirties and has never had a girlfriend.
His talent is just one of the many reasons he's avoided his long-time crush Melissa - his best friend's little sister and literally the girl next door. But now that Melissa has caught the attention of an aggressive drug dealer - a dog hybrid with a seriously bad rap-sheet - Rick can't let her go it alone. If that means letting her wrap herself around him on his bike (and off of it), so be it...
Melissa just can't understand why people judge a book by its cover. No one is as scary as they look.
When she opens her coffee shop, everyone says that she picked a bad location and will be knifed before the first month ends. Man oh man are they all wrong. Every time a customer comes into Juniper's Java, they just become friendlier and friendlier regardless of how intimidating they seem at a glance. Now, the whole area is the hip place to be.
Today will be no different.When a dog hybrid comes in and spooks her best friend, all Melissa has to do is say something and the guy realizes he's being too intense and leaves. She kind of wishes Rick came in after instead of before that because now he's all worried for no reason. But maybe now she'll finally get to spend some time with him if he's so determined to help her out and keep her safe...
Touchy Talents is the first book of The Mavens but can be read as a standalone.
