Kindle edition

fictionwise

what it's about:
Facing life and death situations as cops shouldn't be easier than facing each other…should it?

Will and Tyler lost each other after Anna's death, but they’re determined to save their friendship and partnership on the force. Good thing they’re determined—it's going to take everything they've got as the pressure mounts and denial, anger and pain drives one of them to do something he’ll never forgive himself for. Luckily his best friend has enough forgiveness for both of them—at least until he disappears, leaving behind a grieving partner who’ll do absolutely anything to save him.

Will it be enough, or is everything they’ve been to each other lost forever?

WHAT I'M WORKING ON:
LOST BOYS

what it's about:
One man carries a great evil he can neither understand or control. A similar evil has wounded another man to the point of no return.

The two meet as bitter enemies. Terrible things are said and done. Things that can't--shouldn't--be forgiven or forgotten. And despite it all, their relationship takes a turn no one else could ever understand.

And neither of them knows if it will it kill them or save them.
