Manipulation (Shadows #2)

by Jolene Perry 

Release Date: January 2013

Paperback/e-book

Summary from Goodreads:

Addison Prince has almost always gotten what she wants.
Dean Courser only wants to find his brother, but it's the one thing he’s failed at... Even with his unusual ability.

Dean and Addison share the gift of Manipulation—a brief touch that forces others to do what they wish. But when they meet and realize their connection, they find more questions than answers. Suddenly Dean is seeing shadows move on their own, and Addison is learning her father’s mysterious group may know more about her abilities than he’s ever let on.

As Dean and Addison second-guess every decision about who they are and why they're wanted, time is running out. With shadows following their every move, they're losing hope they’ll ever get to safety—if such a thing exists.

Here are the teasers (I had to do more than one): 

"You're hot.  I watched."  His face is even as he rests his hand on the desk and looks at me.  It somehow doesn't feel like a compliment.

Wow.  Without touching her and here I am, free, on a bus headed for home

I. Am. Awesome.

I rest my hands on the wall, on either side of her face.  "I promise not to touch you."

"You'll have to touch me."

I swallow.  I can't breathe.  The electricity around us stops everything else.
