H.D. Nels

When Martin Provost comes out to his family, his parents accept him but, surprisingly, his twin sister does not. On his way home, Martin’s car is hit by a truck that crosses into his lane. He survives the accident, but barely -- he is unresponsive. Anthony Carsen is a widower trying to deal with his partner’s suicide. He lives near the scene of Martin’s accident and rushes to help, though he thinks he might be too late. Though Martin’s body is in a coma, his spirit is drawn to Anthony, and soon the two fall in love. But Martin’s isn’t the only presence in Anthony’s home, and soon other spirits make their presences known. Martin isn’t dead, but his life is fading fast. Can Anthony convince his spirit to return to his body? Will Anthony’s late partner leave him and Martin in peace to pursue their love? If the spirit is willing ...

“No, you need to keep your ass here more often. That way, I don’t have to wait to do this.” He leaned in and kissed him again. Martin stood, grasped Anthony’s hand, and led him upstairs.


Eventually, they came down from their post-orgasmic bliss. Martin was idly playing with the sparse hair on Anthony’s chest while he filled him in on the goings on of the last twenty-four hours. Both men were excited to be meeting Agnes’s granddaughter. She messaged on Facebook that she would be there the next morning.
