Tobias

Is it still taboo if I didn’t grow up with him?

Never having known a loving family, I discovered the harsh truth about my “mother” on my own. She stole me at birth.

Now, I’m alone.

Until my biological brother, Tobias, extends a kindness I never expected. He meets me at my hometown airport, offering a chance to meet for the first time before facing his–I mean our–parents. We planned to fly there together.

But the sky crumbles and our plane crashes in the unforgiving Appalachians. Tobias and I are among the lucky few to survive. Fires, bears, and the hunt for food are mere inconveniences compared to the new challenge that ignites between us. The line between Tobias and me blurs as our touches linger a beat too long.

Soon our attraction to one another is too difficult to resist.
