The Carnells and the Stones have been at war for years, the Stones are our enemies. That’s just how it is, or was. Until her. Ostara Stone intrigues me like nothing and no one else, the way she moves, the way she speaks, the way she looks at me, everything about her consumes me. Like claws scratching at the inside of my skull, I have the obsessive urge to destroy and devour her until it completely ruins us both. So I stay away, which is hard to do when we’re both trapped inside the walls of Blackgrave Academy. I as the ballet master, her as a science student. But when I discover her on my family's land, I find myself unable to keep my distance any longer. Our love is a betrayal, to our families and to each other, but I am sick, and so, it turns out, is she. Sick Like Me is a short 13k word dark romance novella with heavy themes and depictions throughout. It is a complete standalone and does not need to be read before or after any of my other series/books, though the story is set in the same world as all of my other works.
