Untouchable by Stephanie Doyle

Back cover:  To touch her is to touch death...

Orphaned at birth, Lilith knows nothing of her family, her last name or the origin of the amazing power she'd always considered a curse.  Then the arrival of a mysterious package reveals her mother's legacy-and the existence of a half sister with special powers of her own.  When the family reunion turns deadly, only one man can help Lilith defeat her new enemy.  His warrior's hands will keep Lilith alive by any means necessary.  but his touch will transform her...body and soul.

I will admit that I was sceptical that Lilith could be one of the "good guys", after all, the other heroines in the Athena Force books have been graduates of Athena Academy, but Stephanie Doyle did a real good job of letting us watch Lilith evolve from timid outcast to modern warrior woman.  Now, I'm awaiting the last book in this Athena Force mini-series, finally, we get Allison's story!
