Forged in Grace

At age 15, a horrific fire left Grace Jensen scarred and highly sensitive to the pain of anyone she touches. Thirteen years later, living with her hoarder mother and half-in-love with her former doctor, her long-absent best friend, Marly Kennet, returns to town and convinces Grace to make a leap-of-faith trip to Las Vegas. There, Grace discovers she doesn't only feel others' pain, she can heal it. This healing gift soon turns darker when the truth of Marly's past and the fire that scarred Grace is revealed, pushing the boundaries of loyalty and exposing both women to danger.
