A Curative Touch - A Collection of Unusual Tales, #3 - E-book - ePub

From the time I was a small child, I have been exceptionally healthy. No disease or accident can fell me, nor anyone around me. It is as if I am protected, and by extension, those around me are as well. If I touch someone, they are cured. I know I cannot tell anyone for fear I will be called a witch and hunted down or thrown into Bedlam. But I cannot squander my gift either. I have an extraordinary ability-I must use it to help as many people as I may.
I plan to marry a doctor so that I might assist him in his practice of medicine. It would be the perfect shield for my unusual pastime. I cannot allow myself to be distracted by a handsome gentleman from Derbyshire, no matter how rich or intelligent he is. Falling in love would ruin everything.
