The Touch (Hardcover)

From the Publisher: Andrew Jones was once one of the few surgeons in the world to have that rare, God-given ability referred to as :the touch." But after failing to save his young fiancée, Faith, at the scene of a car accident, Jones abandons his gift and shuns the operating room. Lara Blair owns a Chicago-based biomedical engineering company developing a surgical tool that will duplicate precisely the movement of a surgeon's hands, which could reduce or eliminate failed surgical procedures. Lara has pursued the best surgeons in the world to test this surgical tool, and all of them have failed. As Lara pursues Jones's skill for her project, Jones's stubborn resistance cracks, and he begins to open up to her about the wounds that still haunt him. But when Jones discovers the urgency behind Lara's work, he realizes that he has a momentous choice to make: he can live in his self-imposed cocoon, and avoid the pain that comes from loving -- or to move beyond his painful past and use his talent to save others.
