Lost Together
(#DOS Part Two)
Release Date: March 21, 2017
The second novel in the
emotionally compelling trilogy, Degrees of Separation—three lost souls
determined to find balance again…
December
has vanished. Rejected by her troubled husband, Austin, and pushed, at his
insistence, into the arms of his best friend, Cord, she’s uncertain what the
future holds. She loves her husband, regardless of his addiction, but she also
loves his best friend. At odds with everything she believed to be her
traditional reality, she flees the only home she’s ever known.
Heartbroken,
Cord does the right thing and confronts his reluctant betrayal of Austin after
losing the woman they both love. He takes charge, dragging Austin back from the
edge of oblivion, only to find himself plunged deeper into a life of heartache.
On a
path to redemption, Austin must not only confront personal truths, but consider
the sacrifices necessary to save his marriage and his friendship with Cord.
An
unexpected reunion and exposed secrets will either derail or establish their
future as one.

Excerpt:
The
second she was gone the asshole in the room spoke up. “You’re wasting your time
fighting it.”
His
fork clattered to his plate. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Stop shoving me
at your wife!”
Austin
stared past Cord, his face filling with concern.
Shit. Ember stood in the
doorway, eyes wide, frozen in place, clutching a white frosted cake heaped with
strawberries.
Goddamn
Austin and his stupid ideas. “Ember—”
“I…I
forgot the knife.” She quickly placed the dishes on the table, her steps
faltering, and fled to the kitchen.
“Great,”
Cord snapped, bunching up his napkin and tossing it on the table. “Enjoy your
fucking cake. I’m out of here.”
Austin opened his big
mouth, but Cord was done talking to him. Reasoning with Austin was like trying
to discuss physics with a chimp. “Shut it, Austin.”
He
detoured to the kitchen, unable to take his rage out on her. “Ember, I didn’t
mean—”
“It’s
okay.” Her fingers twisted into a dishcloth and then she dashed away a tear.
Fuck.
Tears. Not tears! His concern shifted into panic. “It’s not okay. I don’t know
what Austin told you—”
“I
know what he’s up to. I told him not to do this.”
She fucking knew her
husband was messing with him? It didn’t make any sense. “Why is he doing this?”
Now she shrugged. “He’s Austin. Once he gets something
in his head…”
Cord
rubbed his palm over his face and squeezed. “What does he expect to gain from
this? He’s just making an uncomfortable situation worse.”
“He’s
trying to fix it. He doesn’t understand, because he wasn’t there. He thinks if
we put everything out in the open the guilt will go away. He thinks it’s best
to deal with it.”
“Deal
with it how?” He wasn’t a fucking puppet Austin could place in whatever
position he wanted.
“I
don’t know. I barely understand what I’m feeling right now. I can’t pretend to
understand what he’s going through. Or you, for that matter.”
All thoughts of her
husband vanished as he focused on the ‘f’ word, for his sins. “What are you feeling?”
Her
face tightened and her hand pressed into her chest, her eyes betraying her show
of bravado. “Here. It hurts. I don’t know how to make it stop, Cord.”
“Hurts
how?” He took a slow step closer, keeping his voice low.
Eyes
pleading, she looked up at him, her mouth tight with worry. “When I’m near you,
my heart beats so fast I’m afraid it’ll explode. But I know I can’t… I can’t
express what’s inside of me. Then this unbearable ache takes hold. It
just…hurts.”
