Genetically engineered therapist Dr. Linsey Cadmen is happy to finally be a true citizen. Most of her life has been spent hiding in the shadows, but everything is different now. She’s free. No one wishes to dismantle her because of her genetic flaws. She has the same rights as natural-born humans in a world that is slowly getting back on its feet after a global unplug and a widespread plague. But will she ever stop looking over her shoulder, waiting to be caught?
When Deo shows up in her office needing her counsel, Linsey finds herself wanting to be caught in a whole different sense of the word. Can she heal his wounds? Can he accept her for what she is? Can they make each other feel secure enough to risk their hearts?
Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.
Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.
She lives in Rhode Island and occasionally Vermont with her pack—a husband, a cat, and a big, black German Shepherd who defends her fiercely from all evils.
