Wicks - Encountering the curvy spitfire Sterling allows me to live in the moment and enjoy her for a handful of hours. By doing so, I put a dangerous situation on hold, which turns out to be a mistake. Because enemies will always strike when you least expect it. Sterling - Within hours of meeting Wicks, he evolves from being a one-night stand to my savior and eventually my captor. Fighting him is useless, and joining forces is our only option when deception is thrown at our feet. Leander Burns Wicks can be read as a complete standalone novella. Two lives thrown together, unexpectedly creating fire on impact, unaware of the danger closing in on them at rapid speed.
