THIS TIME WHEN
WE TOUCH
by Tina Donahue
Blurb:
Fate has cruelly
torn them apart through the centuries…
Endless desire
and unparalleled love will bring them together a final time.
Through numerous reincarnations, Jade
Jacome has adored one man. His love for her has repeatedly led to her murder,
always on the same day and time. Jade’s scientific research proves this is
their final rebirth, her last chance to outwit destiny and fulfill their
passion. Against a backdrop of Brazil’s lushly decadent Carnaval, Jade has
forty-eight hours to meet and tempt her lover, now known as Patrick Kane, then
break fate’s deadly pattern.
Irresistibly drawn to Rio, Patrick
senses Jade’s yearning that matches his. Seeing her again, time stops. Though
they’ve never met in this life, he feels their connection, and that she’s in
danger because of him. Baffled and unsettled, Patrick resists his attraction to
Jade to keep her safe.
In a contest of wills and shameless
seduction, Jade must gamble all, even her life, before the anniversary of their
first separation or risk losing Patrick forever.

Excerpt:
What seemed to be love flared in the
woman’s green eyes, further softening her features. A welcoming smile broke
across her delicate mouth, creating two dimples.
Pure wonder overcame him. He couldn’t
look at her enough to satisfy his lust, heart, and soul.
Reddish-brown hair, shiny and thick,
cascaded down her back, the tendrils around her exquisite face wiggling in the
wind. Her slender throat bobbed gently with her swallow. Even before he looked,
he knew three moles circled her navel, the marks he’d been looking for.
It didn’t make sense. None of this did.
For some reason, he expected her to be
wearing a yellow gown, elegant and modest in design.
Clothed in a thong the locals called fio dental or dental floss, she seemed
unaware or unconcerned that its bronze color matched her skin, creating an
illusion of nudity. The tips of her nipples strained against the stretchy
fabric that barely contained her full breasts. No more than a scrap of cloth
hid her cunt from him and not very well. The Lycra revealed the outline of her
slit that led to her hot, wet sheath.
His lungs burned for air. Steadying
himself, he dug his toes in the mud, feeling the bite of sand instead.
Surprised and confused, he looked down.
Her voice whispered in his mind, “Esta vez cuando tocamosa.”
The words lingered, chasing away the
remaining sounds until they disappeared, leaving a heavy silence. He managed a
swallow and a shallow breath that left him hungry for more. Lifting his face,
he stared at her, tenderness overwhelming him. Her voice, her promise echoed in
his thoughts.
Esta
vez cuando tocamosa. This
time when we touch.
Hope roared through him with the
arrogance of youth, followed by a broken man’s despair. He stopped lifting his
hand to invite her closer. Unease crept through him. A warning rang in his mind
to keep his distance, to do everything he could to keep her safe.
Above, a gull cried out, interrupting
his apprehension, bringing with it the other sounds. Women laughed, men
boasted, children shrieked. The reality and normalcy of the beach intruded.
Unsteady, Patrick blinked. What in the
hell was happening?
Rubbing water from his eyes, he didn’t
immediately look up, concerned that she’d vanished. That she hadn’t been real
to begin with.
Her patient gaze told him how wrong he
was. She regarded him as though no one else existed.
Patrick’s chest pumped with his erratic
breaths. Blood flowed to his groin. His cock thickened painfully wanting inside
her sweet cunt.
Just as he was about to act on impulse
and go to her, a man from behind caught Patrick’s attention. He looked to be in
his early thirties. Although she seemed unaware of him, he stared at her naked
ass and legs, his attention more than appreciative. It was fucking possessive,
possibly jealous. The kind of prick who talked with his fists to keep a woman
in line.
Patrick went hot with outrage, his only
thought to see that she was safe. He crossed the beach, stopping directly in
front of her. She lifted her face to his, her expression guileless, brimming
with what seemed to be adoration.
Baffled…grateful, he recalled her voice
in his mind. Or what he thought had been her voice.
This
time when we touch.
He remembered his concern, the insane
idea that he had to protect her. From the guy behind her? Some other man? Or
from himself?
The
thought should have struck him as crazy, but he couldn’t dismiss it. Taking a
step back, Patrick asked what he had to know but was afraid to face. “Who are
you?”
