Luke Carter's life on Mars is shadowed by haunting nightmares and unsettling mysteries. Every night, he's tormented by visions of his family lost in Earth's apocalypse, and every day, he navigates the cold, sterile reality of the Martian colony. But when he discovers a crack in the colony's towering walls, Luke uncovers a hidden settlement and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
As he delves deeper into the mystery, Luke confronts questions about his identity, the colony's true purpose, and the dark secrets that lie beyond the walls. His journey takes him to the edge of sanity and safety, forcing him to confront a past that refuses to stay buried.
The Walls is a gripping sci-fi thriller that explores the thin line between reality and illusion, as Luke races against time to uncover the truth in a world where nothing is as it seems.

What secrets are B.E.A.R. Laboratories hiding? Veronica plans to find out. ▪▪▪ Brown eyes, nearly obscured by rich locks of dark hair, stare into my light green ones with an intensity which nearly causes my knees to wobble. I can hear nothing but the thudding of my heart beating wildly in my chest, the sounds of the sirens turning into white noise at the back of my mind. I back up until my spine connects with the elevator doors. I shiver as my bare arms come in contact with the cool metal. "Someone help me, please," I beg. The man stalks closer still. His eyes are fixed solely on me, unmoving, intense. His fists are clutched tightly against his sides, as though restraining himself in some way. Restraining himself from what, I don't want to know. The man stops only an arm's length away from me. I stare up at him with wide eyes, my lips parted in fear. I stand frozen, unable to move. I shut my eyes, turning my head away. Laboured breathing, the touch of fingertips on my bare shoulder, breath on my lips. A heavy, deep inhale. Slow exhale. A forehead against mine, shaky hands cupping the back of my neck, fingertips sliding into my red locks. My eyes open to meet the warmest pair of honey eyes. Cover by AnnaCharles16 #4 in ROMANCE?
