LINGERING TOUCH: THE BACK RUB THAT CHANGED THEIR LIVES FOREVER by Lora Shin

In the quiet suburbs of Atlanta, where ordinary routines hide extraordinary desires, a forbidden attraction ignites between a man and the young woman he has always protected.

Michael has been a steady presence in Susanna’s life since he married her mother. But when the twenty-three-year-old moves back home after college, the careful boundaries between stepfather and stepdaughter begin to blur. What starts as lingering glances and accidental touches soon becomes something far more dangerous—and impossible to resist.

One charged evening, a simple back rub changes everything. The slow slide of his hand, the heat of his palm, the way she doesn’t pull away… it awakens a hunger neither of them can deny. As stolen moments turn into secret nights and whispered confessions, Michael and Susanna surrender to a passion that is tender, possessive, and deeply taboo.

But living under the same roof means living with risk. Every kiss, every touch, every time he claims her body carries the threat of discovery. And as their connection deepens into something far more than lust, they must decide how much they’re willing to risk for the one thing that finally feels real.

Lingering Touch is a slow-burn, emotionally charged erotic romance that explores the intoxicating pull of forbidden desire, the comfort of being truly seen, and the dangerous beauty of choosing love when the world says you shouldn’t.
