Once a street urchin, Mary was rescued by the kindly Liang, who taught her the ancient art of massage. She believes her ability to ease pain is more than a physical treatment—it’s a ministry. But folks in town see it as scandalous and act as though coming into contact with Mary might tarnish them. And when Liang suddenly passes away, Mary is unsure how she will survive on their homestead alone. Seth Hatchett thinks Mary must be some kind of seducer. No woman would touch a man who isn’t her spouse. But he soon sees Mary is a woman of faith whose hands do “good work.” Seth offers to help her—not out of pity or to make her more respectable, as Mary thinks—but out of love. Despite her feelings for the most eligible Texan around, Mary’s heart is torn. She desperately wants to accept his love. But will doing so mean she has to choose between Seth…and her ministry? The Secret Touch of Mary Kincaid is a novella.
