Trapped in Fiction
(2027)(The third book in the Fictional Hearts series)
A novel by Victorine E Lieske
He's spent his whole life keeping control. This world just took it all away.
Cole Whitfield doesn't lose control. Not on the job, not in his own head, not ever—not since the night a moment's distraction cost him everything. Control is the one thing he has left.
So when he wakes up in a world where he doesn't exist—no badge, no apartment, no sister waiting on his phone calls—the unraveling is almost worse than the disappearing.
The only steady thing in this impossible place is Jules Sterling, the sculptor whose life's work he destroyed on arrival. She should hate him. Instead, she gives him a place to sleep and lets him help put back together what he broke.
He tells himself it's temporary. A debt to repay before he finds his way home to the sister who needs him. But the closer the gallery deadline gets, the harder it is to remember why he's supposed to be leaving.
Getting home was supposed to be the whole point. Now Cole isn't sure what he's racing toward, or what he'll be leaving behind.
Genre: Romance
