    About this ebook

    When Del reaches his snow-filled vacation paradise, the most he expects is to snowboard and ski. When he meets Neil, the attraction between them is mutual and all-consuming. However the picturesque town façade disguises a long-held and lethal secret. Things are not what they seem.

    When Del is told he’s in danger, his immediate reaction is to think of Neil. But Neil is hiding a deadly secret.

    Del has to find a way to save them both before he becomes the next victim, and Neil loses his soul to the demands of a ravenous beast.

      Romance on the Go

      Chapter One

      Del looked around at a vast, white expanse. Occasionally a forest came into view, the trees heavy with snow from a recent fall. As the bus passed through a narrow valley, he looked ahead to the looming mountain and the signs showing how close he was to the town.

      His timing had become skewed. He'd meant to get there a month previously. He intended to get a casual, short term job for evening or night, so that he could take advantage of the day to ski, snowboard, maybe even play around on a snowmobile.

      However, he'd spent longer in the last town than intended. In a way he regretted leaving, but his time off and funds were limited. He'd saved his leave for a couple of years, and negotiated a few extra weeks with no pay, to have a four-month holiday extravaganza.

      This part of his holiday would be the highlight. Snow. Lots of snow, and winter sports. Things he never got to do in the warmth of the south. The area had good skiing, and the town had a big logging company nearby. With a mix of holiday traffic and local needs, a job in a hotel kitchen, cafe or bar would be easy to come by.

      Proficient as a bar man or barista, Del could also do a good job as a sous chef, too. Back home, he'd worked in a bar with its own restaurant, alternating between working in the kitchen and as waiting staff.

      He'd enjoyed working there, but he hoped that after the holiday he could find a job in a hotel restaurant. His resume would show he'd continued to add to his skills, even while on his vacation. I've managed to get a couple of jobs in hotels that I can include.

      The bus pulled into a modest, but picturesque, town. Del disembarked, and took out the map from his backpack pocket. He only took a couple of seconds to orientate himself, instinctively facing north. He gave a mental grin. He never had a problem with directions.

      He'd reserved a couple of nights at a local backpacker motel. After that he'd hoped to find something a little better, so long as he'd found work to help pay for it. He already had a plan of
