Teaser

Living With the Dead

“Jordan?” I whispered but I knew there was no reaching him until the vision was done.

His eyes opened then, and he looked around the room before his eyes met mine. “Bran?”

“Yes, you’re okay. What did you see?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking. If there was any chance we could end all the craziness of the past few months, I was interested in that information.

“It’s all very strange. I think I had a vision. I was at a celebration. But it was long ago, and while I could see everything happening around me, I wasn’t me,” Jordan tried to explain while narrowing his eyes and trying to hold onto the memory before it faded like a dream on waking.

“What celebration?” I asked and hoped it helped him remember. He shook his head slightly and met my eyes.

“You won’t believe me,” he whispered.

“Try me,” I said. He took a deep breath and started to tell his story.

“Lately I’ve had a lot of dreams and visions from another lifetime.” He met my eyes and waited for my reaction. “At first, I thought they were dreams, but there are deep emotions attached to them. When it happens, I’m able to feel and sense everything around me. It’s not a dream.”

“Do you think they’re really memories of another lifetime?” I asked, using the words he had. I was hesitant to ask about reincarnation. I knew for a fact it was possible, but I hadn’t met anyone who could prove they were a reincarnated spirit. Something about crossing over the veil wiped all memories and gave the spirit a new beginning no matter if that’s what they wanted or not. But I also knew some witches had managed to pass on their knowledge after death to a blood relative who was willing to carry on where their ancestor had left off. Ensuring their line of magic and power continued.

“I think so. I have memories of a small village that I think might be in Ireland, and pagan ceremonies.” He looked at me then, gauging my reaction. “I know it sounds crazy.”

Jordan Amid’s family has always been connected to the other side of the veil, but they follow a long tradition of secrecy, not telling outsiders all they can do. When an insistent spirit keeps showing up in the middle of the night, he knows he can’t keep it all from Bran any longer. Throwing his spirit from his body is only one of the skills he has, but he’s not sure its time to admit everything yet.

Bran Tanda is finally starting to accept and understand more of his necromancer abilities, but he’s still hesitant to embrace all the powers he knows he possesses, and even though he’s avoided the witches in his mother’s coven his ability is not only one they’re interested in.

Jordan’s family has kept their abilities secret for generations. Mostly to protect themselves from being used in ways that could bring more power to some at the expense of others. Especially when one of those secrets involves the ancient enemy that’s been behind most of the strange happenings around town. Jordan and Bran’s abilities will be tested, along with their relationship. More than their relationship will suffer if they fail.

Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more of the Caribbean than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.

When JJ ends up partying late into the night with some of the passengers from a cruise ship, he follows them onboard. But when Cory finds him sleeping in a deckchair after the ship has sailed, he takes him to his cabin. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but he may have met his match in the cruise worker who can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship. #oppositesattract #smalltown/city #vacationromance
