I have a start on a book...intended to be the first of 2. I could use a few people to bounce ideas off of.
Both main characters in the first book seem 'content' enough with their lives and unwilling to risk change and emotional entanglement. Both resist the truth that everyone's soul hungers for three things.
To be truly Seen... known beneath the mask
To be Accepted... as who they truly are
To be valued... Chosen above all others.
Both shy away from even the idea of love.
He thinks that a woman worth having would run from who he truly is...but she is a prisoner. Can he manipulate her mind and heart?
She is a witness he intended to kill. Can she give him reasons to keep her alive...for how long?
By the end of the story, both are revealed to one another and changed by their relationship... but can she (or anyone) love him... and at what cost?
I know how I intend to end the story, but there is a lot to work out. Mostly, I want to work on characters right now. Backstory, psychology, who they are and how they change.
PM if you are interested.
