Here is another awesome cover by Trace Zaber at Amber Allure for my next release
Diventando: The Vessel due out on Sept. 7th! This story is an expanded version of
my weekly flash fiction featuring Owen and Turk.
Twenty-five-year-old Owen
McIntyre is no stranger to the Grim Reaper. Diagnosed with leukemia at the age
of fifteen, he's spent the last ten years slowly dying. With only two weeks
before his next checkup, Owen’s body is already warning him that he may no
longer be in remission. He’s tired of the countless rounds of chemo and the way
his family coddles and protects him. To live and die on his own terms, Owen
makes the most difficult decision of all: he decides to forego treatment. When
he meets a lively college professor named Turk, conquering the man becomes part
of his bucket list. But as Owen gets to know Turk, he starts to see him as more
than a fling. It’s a luxury a dying man doesn’t have.
But what if suddenly
everything Owen knew to be true was a web of lies and deceit—even his diagnosis
of cancer? Suddenly taken hostage, tied to a bed and experimented on, Owen's
nightmare of leukemia is a far cry from the horrors he will face. No longer
able to trust anyone in his life, including Turk, Owen is alone and cut off
from the world. He has to make the hard decision whether to trust those who
have betrayed him, or die a lonely death. He must also decide if he can trust
enough to love the man he’s come to care for deeply. With time running out,
he’ll not only fight to live, but fight to want to live again, and even
that might not be enough to save him from the evil that lurks inside.
