Sometimes dying with the truth is better than living with a lie.
After a car accident puts Shauna McAllister in a coma and wipes out six months of her memory, she returns to her childhood home to recover, but her arrival is fraught with confusion. Her estranged father, a senator bidding on the White House, and her abusive stepmother blame Shauna for the tragedy, which has left her beloved brother severely brain damaged.
Leaning on Wayne Spade, a forgotten but hopeful lover who stays by her side, Shauna tries to sort out what happened that night by jarring her memory to life. Instead, she acquires a mysterious mental ability that will either lead her to truth or get her killed by the people trying to hide it. In this blind game of cat and mouse that stares even the darkest memories in the face, Shauna is sure of only one thing: if she remembers, she dies.

Critical Praise
"Dekker and Healy form a powerful team in crafting redemptive suspense. KISS is emotionally absorbing and mentally intriguing --- don’t miss it."––– Lisa T. Bergren, author of THE BLESSED
"The human brain could actually be the real final frontier --- we know so little about it and yet it drives the world as we know it. So when authors like Erin and Ted bravely explore these mysterious regions, going into complex places like memory and soul and relationships, I become hooked. The creativity of this suspenseful story is sure to hook other readers as well. Very memorable!"––– Melody Carlson, author of FINDING ALICE and THE OTHER SIDE OF DARKNESS
"Dekker and Healy prove a winning team in this intriguing, imaginative thriller."––– James Scott Bell, bestselling author of TRY DARKNESS
"KISS by Erin Healy and Ted Dekker is a superb thriller that hooked me from the first sentence. The original plot kept me guessing, and I may never look at a kiss the same way again. I’ll be watching for the next book!"––– Colleen Coble, author of CRY IN THE NIGHT
"The writing team of Erin Healy and Ted Dekker has taken me through a page-turner with KISS. It’s one of those books that you think about when you’re not reading it. I highly recommend it, especially if you don’t mind staying up late because you can’t put the book down!"––– Rene Gutteridge, author of SKID and MY LIFE AS A DOORMAT
"Master of evangelical Christian suspense, Dekker (THR3E; BLINK; SKIN) joins first-time author Healy in this thriller, no less fast-moving than the Christy Award–winning author's solo prose, but also more gripping as it plunges into the life of a woman with frayed and painful family relationships. When a tragic auto accident leaves Shauna McAllister's brother brain-damaged and erases her recent memories, she discovers she has a paranormal ability to steal memories from others, a capability that will either get her killed or unveil hidden sides of the very people she thought she could trust. Against this background, she attempts to uncover the ugly truth about her father's dark secrets and to upend his run for president of the United States. True to Dekker's penchant for twists that keep you guessing till the very last page, KISS also attempts to return to snappier dialogue and more logical plotting than SKIN. A psychological suspense thriller that shines light into black-market child trafficking, Dekker's latest will satisfy Christian fiction lovers who want complex characters and who believe in the stark realities of true good and heinous evil."––– -Publishers Weekly
