Books like Just one touch by Maya Banks
Raised in a strict religious cult, Jenna has little memory of the outside world, but she possesses an extraordinary healing ability that the cult forces her to use as both a tool and a punishment. Years of captivity have hardened her into a timid survivor, yet she quietly plans her escape. When a nervous young woman attempts to steal the SUV of Devereaux Security’s toughest recruit, Isaac, the situation escalates into violence. In the chaos, Jenna touches a wounded Isaac, closing his wounds with her mysterious power. As he seeks to keep her alive, Jenna refuses to reveal the danger she faces or the source of her gift. Isaac vows to earn her trust and affection, convinced that with just one touch, he is destined for her forever.
The story blends suspense, romance, and a touch of the supernatural as Jenna’s past clashes with her present, forcing both characters to confront the cost of healing and the price of love.

Kylie sees the way Jensen looks at her. The dark promise in his eyes. That rough edge of dominance she knows he possesses. But dominance is the one thing that frightens her above all else. She and her brother barely survived a childhood steeped in violence and abuse. She could never give up total control and submit to a man. Especially a man like Jensen. Could she? Jensen sees the shadows in Kylie's eyes. Knows he has to tread very carefully or risk losing any chance he has with her. All he wants is the opportunity to show her that dominance doesn't equal pain, bondage or discipline. That emotional surrender is the most powerful of all, and that to submit--fully to him--will fulfill the aching void in her heart in a way nothing else ever will.
