On the verge of divorce, Dante and Nicole attempt to rekindle their marriage by renting a secluded, luxury beach property via Airbnb, for a romantic getaway. It should be the perfect balm for their a week of beautiful sunrises and sunsets on a white sand beach, a sublime setting for them to rediscover their love. But once they settle in at the seaside villa, they realize the host not only has them under surveillance—he has somehow stolen their most closely guarded secrets. Secrets that, once revealed, could destroy their already fragile marriage. And even move them to destroy each other . . . "The Host" is a novella, of about 60 pages. It was originally published in the FOUR SECRETS anthology in 2019.

Here’s a little about me, Brandon Massey. (“Massey” is not pronounced “macy,” by the way. Think of “mass” instead.) I was born June 9, 1973, in Waukegan, Illinois. I grew up in Zion, a suburb north of Chicago. I originally self-published Thunderland, my first novel, in 1999. After managing to sell a few thousand copies on my own, Kensington Publishing Corp. in New York offered me a two-book contract, and published a new, revised edition of Thunderland in December 2002. Since then, I’ve published up to three books a year, ranging from thriller novels such as The Other Brother, to short story collections such as Twisted Tales, and anthologies such as Dark Dreams. My newest suspense thriller, Covenant, was published in November 2010. I’ve got plenty more stories in the works that I’ll publish in the coming years. I live with my family near Atlanta, GA.
