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 ...

If the Spirit Is Willing

Being young and totally taken with each other, they were soon ready to go again. It turned out to be again and again. It was a long night of exploration, pure passion, and unadulterated love. They eventually wore each other out, but went to sleep in a spare bedroom where things weren’t wet and sticky. Well, at least until morning, when it began once again. Eventually, they had to get up to find the ringing cell phone. It was Anthony’s call from some Edson representatives wanting to meet with him again. This trip would be out tomorrow and back the following day, guaranteed. He was reluctant to leave when things were mending between the two of them, but Martin assured him they would be fine. The project was important, and they had the rest of their lives to make up for the little bit of lost time.
