Make Me

by Katherine Pierce Chinelli

A jaded teenage artist finds herself in love with a man who isn't who he appears to be. Taking care of her autistic brother and bumming around her small Northern California town after high school have been Andromeda's whole life up until she meets Victor. She is shocked to find out she's pregnant with his child, but even more shocked when he drops a bomb so incredible she can't believe him.

He claims the child's DNA was genetically-engineered by a Satanist group, and that he was hired to have it implanted in him. When she tries to leave, he holds her captive, and her feelings of love sour. He also claims there are members of rival religious groups looking to eliminate the child, and that he must protect her at all costs.

Despite her anger and confusion, she finds his rigorous hair-removal practices and affection for his Tamagotchi animal strangely comforting. When she realizes she wants to keep her child, and that Victor is her only possible method of escape, she knows she must sway his lonely heart if she is to have any chance to change her baby's dubious destiny.

About the author

If magic were real, Katherine, “K.P.” Chinelli would probably still need to take copious notes about it instead of embarking on thrilling adventures. Her brain gets shiny-ball syndrome, so she has published ten books on a variety of subjects including self-help and romantic adventures. As well as being a Certified Massage Therapist and Health Educator, she has traveled to ten countries outside the U.S. including Egypt, where she got to see the pyramids up close. As a stay-at-home mom she is able to indulge in a multitude of hobbies, with learning useless skills being her favorite. Check out her eclectic collection at Smashwords and Amazon.
