Lucas Daniel was born with the power to heal. But it's not a gift, instead it's a life sentence filled with isolation and loneliness, leaving him starved of the love and affection he yearns for. During his secluded childhood, he defies his mother's over-protective rules and tries to befriend Kelsey, the new girl next door. But she thinks he's a freak and wants nothing to do with him … until she accidentally discovers his secret. They soon form an inseparable bond, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. Until a devastating event leaves Kelsey's life hanging in the balance. Lucas does everything he can to save her but leaves her face scarred for life. Believing his secret has been exposed, his mother whisks him away and changes their identities. Now a reclusive country veterinarian, he's managed to keep his secret for decades. But when Kelsey moves to the same rural town, he just might get everything he's ever wanted, and everything he's ever feared. "These Hands is a love story, but it's also a story about how important it is to be yourself and connect with other people." "With a tremendously powerful ending that may well pave the way for a sequel, These Hands is another super release from Darcy Daniel and unreservedly recommended!"
