Description:
Liam Grady is the owner of the Feathered Quill, a quirky little bookstore in Asheville, and—though he doesn’t realize it yet—a dream walker. His last relationship failed almost a year ago, and he’s not had the interest or nerve to pursue anyone he’s met since.
Cameron Danu is a tattoo artist from rural Georgia. Cameron is left without a job after his boss, Jose, is forced to close the shop after a heart attack. When Cameron learns Jose has set up an interview for him at a small tattoo parlor in Asheville, he hopes for a fresh start in a new town.
Fate brings Cameron and Liam together, and they realize they’ve met before—in their dreams. A chance encounter and a winged tattoo might lead them to their destiny—if fear doesn’t turn their dreams into a nightmare.
Excerpt:
Liam walked beside Cam, noting every nuance of the man he’d been with
most of his life, even if they’d never met while awake before. He was entranced
with how Cam moved. He thought of the way Cam had spoken using his hands to
emphasize and punctuate his voice when they were inside the tattoo shop, and
even the little sidestep to separate them didn’t surprise or bother Liam any.
Liam had expected it, truthfully, but he’d needed to feel Cam, to know he
wasn’t imagining all this, either—that fleeting touch in the tattoo shop hadn’t
been nearly enough.
Working with Nosha the last couple of weeks had been interesting, and
he’d started to believe Cam might be
real. However, seeing and touching Cam was very different from trying to
willfully take control of his dreams or debating Cameron’s possible existence.
And touching him? Liam suppressed a shiver as he opened the door for Cam to
enter the little coffee shop.
“Thanks,” Cam murmured. “You always do things like this in the dreams
too,” he added so softly Liam almost missed it.
Liam smiled, hoping Cam could adjust to this new knowledge and glad he’d
noticed how Liam acted both in their dreams and now.
Thankfully, it wasn’t busy right then, so they got their coffees and were
seated at the farthest table from the other patrons in a few minutes. Liam
waited, watching Cam as he fidgeted with his cup, steadfastly refusing to meet
Liam’s eyes.
Liam cleared his throat and asked, “Will you look at me, please?”
Cam raised his head slowly before finally meeting his gaze. “I don’t
understand how you’re here. You’re supposed to only exist in my head. Well, in
my dreams, anyway.”
Liam chuckled, thinking of how he’d made the same argument with Di and
Nosha not that long ago about his seeing Cam at the club. “I’m still not
entirely certain how all this works, but I’m quite real. As are you, it seems.”
The silver eyes before him flashed a moment before Cam snorted softly,
then smiled, almost. “Why don’t you seem more, I don’t know, upset? I mean,
this should be just as much of a shock for you as it is for me. Or do you go
around invading people’s dreams and doing all those things with others you do
with me all the time?”
He blinked hard as he thought about what to say
and which questions to even answer.
