Chasing Different

Fitting in has a price. Shy librarian Nia Lewis has always preferred books over people. But when handsome geneticist Deacon Everette, a quirky library patron with wide smiles, awkward conversations, and a booming voice that sets him apart from the norm, he screams different. Even though their chemistry is palpable, Nia's always been a people pleaser, and Deacon doesn't fit in with people. Then Nia stumbles on the Book of Disasters—a devilish tome —and becomes privy to its secrets. It foretells when humanity bleeds. And Deacon is the first one she turns to. Soon, Nia and Deacon are thrust into battle with a shadowy force whose goal is to retrieve the book...at any cost. As they navigate their escape, family connections and burgeoning feelings blur the lines between duty and love. But staying one step ahead of the enemy means fighting a tidal wave of chaos — and two well-meaning siblings who have never understood the real cost of being different.
