These two characters are surrounded by darkness, however most of the warnings are due to exterior forces. The majority of these warnings are not things that happen between the two men with one notable exception; there is a scene (albeit short) of one choking the other.
I wanted to be a ghost, to disappear, because people can’t find what they can’t see and can’t hurt what they can’t touch.
My life is a blur of asphalt and regret, the highway my only refuge from a past that’s bruised and bloody.
By day, I crash in dingy motel rooms, chasing sleep that never comes.
By night, I drive, picking up strangers for fleeting trysts that keep the ghosts at bay.
But then I meet Seven: wild-eyed and dangerous.
One night should’ve been enough, but Seven’s touch lingers like a brand, promising something I’m too broken to name.
SEVEN
I’m running from the echoes of cult hymns that still claw at my mind.
Freedom came with a price: the body of a man in the trunk of my car.
My mother always said I was a lost cause with a pretty face.
She was right.
I hustle my body to survive.
But then I meet Noah.
One look, one spark, and a carefully buried hunger roars to life.
TOGETHER
We’re two fractured souls on a collision course, our meeting a lit match in a world soaked with gasoline.
We could burn it all down.
But when our ghosts catch up to us, will we save each other or become the wreckage that’s left behind?

Broken Highway is the first novel in a series of standalones. Each book can be read independently, as they are connected only by the theme of cults.
