For Life & In Death
For Life is a paranormal romance short story, originally published as A Caller from Seattle in the charity anthology, Heart2Heart: Vol. 4.
In Death is an upcoming novella in the same world.
Timothy Moore is dying. After being diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, he’s dropped out of school and doesn’t see much point in hoping for more. The only thing keeping him going is his friend Robin’s faith in him. When Robin insists he put in a call to a curious podcast, Timothy makes a wish that’ll change his life.
A vampire with a heart of gold, Michael’s spent centuries practicing medicine. These days he can save far more people than he did in the triage tents of his youth. But when he meets Timothy at a club, he finds one hopeless case he can’t tolerate.
There’s barely any time to save Timothy’s life, and Timothy’s wish might get him more than he bargained for—life, death, and a vampire Daddy willing to do anything for him.
This short story was originally published in the charity collection, Heart2Heart: Volume 4. It had been reedited and expanded with an additional scene.
Robin Dubicki almost lost his best friend to cancer last year, but everything changed the night they met the mysterious tall, dark, and handsome Doctor Sexy. Now, Timothy’s different. The sports-loving, sunshine man who was always at Robin’s side is now attached at the waist to his new boyfriend, and Robin’s convinced he’s joined a cult. Why else would Timothy refuse to go out in the daytime?
While Luke’s friend Michael is immersed in taking care of his new boy, Luke is the only one to notice Timothy’s best friend investigating. If he’s not careful, the young man’s going to get himself killed digging for dangerous secrets.
When Robin puts himself right in harm’s way, Luke has no choice but to act, and this loner vampire and lonely boy will find the connection they’ve both been looking for—if Robin can break free of a rival vampire trying to manipulate him.
This is a companion novella to the short story For Life.
