About this ebook

Greyson Carteret has been sick for as long as he can remember. His life has been one surgery and invasive procedure after another, and nothing has helped. In fact, he seems to be getting worse, and he feels too miserable to care one way or the other. His father had apparently been unable to cope with his chronic illnesses and took off with another woman.

As a result, his mother is the only one available to see to his care. Now, though, due to a family emergency, she has to go out of town. She doesn't feel Grey can be left on his own, so when his doctor refers a home healthcare agency to her, she hires Dylan Morse to look after Grey. To his surprise, Grey is fascinated by the man.

Dylan, who is taking a break from nursing by working as a home health aide, finds he likes Grey, and is saddened to learn the young man only has months to live. A friendship quickly develops between the two, and Grey regrets it isn't likely to grow into anything more. However, Dylan is curious about Grey's symptoms and by Mrs. Carteret's insistence that her son only eat the food she's prepared for him.

Will Dylan discover the truth behind Grey's numerous illnesses? Can their friendship become anything more if he can help Grey live to see his twenty-third birthday?

NOTE: This story deals with issues of mental illness that some readers might find disturbing.

About the author

Tinnean has been writing since the third grade, where she was inspired to try her hand at epic poetry. Fortunately, that epic poem didn't survive the passage of time; however, her love of writing not only survived but thrived, and in high school she became a member of the magazine staff, where she contributed a number of stories. Starting a family resulted in writing being set aside, although throughout those years Tinnean did continue to keep a journal. Once the kids were old enough to do their own thing, she was able to dabble in writing again. It was with the advent of the family's second computer -- the first intimidated everyone -- that her writing took off, enhanced in part by fan fiction, but mostly by the wonder that is copy and paste. While involved in fandom, she was nominated for both Rerun and Light My Fire Awards. Now she concentrates on her original characters and has been published by Nazca Plains, Dreamspinner, and JMS Books. Tinnean is what you might call a hopeful romantic, and if you see her name on a story, it will have a happy ending. Her signature line, a quote by Ernest Hemingway, says it all: "Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it." A New Yorker at heart, she resides in SW Florida with her husband and two computers.
