The Lighthouse
Aaron was on the cusp of greatness, a flourishing boxing career with aspirations to emulate his idols, wealth, family and friends, but he developed an opponent he couldn’t outrun. Shadowed. Desperate to find a source of solace, he walks away from his life without a single backward glance.
Vulnerable and alone, following the abduction of her parents, Luna seeks comfort from the rituals of those she admires, when she herself is snatched under the cloak of night by something more than man.
Both of these fractured souls find themselves at the lighthouse. Whilst Luna is its prisoner, bound and tormented by her captor; with no means to his name and continuing his solitary pilgrimage, Aaron takes shelter there.
It is with her piercing call to the night that both their lives are catapulted as one.
Luna cannot believe her eyes when her rescuer is the very image of the man she would dream of as a girl. Aaron is speechless when reaching the source distress, the vision before him is a creature like no other. She smells of promise and of secrets.
These two strangers shape a bond which cannot be corroded, which moves beyond muscle and bone, tying their souls for all eternity. But they are not alone. For something pursues Luna, something which would appear of man but is not.
A storm like no other is coming.
Together Luna and Aaron must draw strength from each other and be willing to place their faith in the kindness of strangers in order to evade and outwit their pursuer.
But before Aaron can hope to defeat an opponent who has the ability to implode into nothing but light before his eyes, who can manipulate the sea and the sky, he must be willing to confront his biggest tormentor; himself.
Luna glows with a love she dare not reveal, for how can she truly love someone so altered from herself? Aaron is of the earth and land; how can he love her for a lifetime? Could her love for him dwarf how physically opposed they are?
Over the course of just one night Luna and Aaron must ask much of themselves and each other. For they are about to discover exactly which is the greater threat, the tangible demons they can see, or those invisible to the human eye; the demons we carry in our hearts and minds, which also have the ability to crush hearts and souls as effectively as a scrap merchant.
One thing is for certain, this New Year’s Eve, is going to be messy.

Read as part of my kindle unlimited trial. It wasn't excellent but considering it's a self-published little novel, it's not bad. A bit confusing at times and could use a bit more padding and more authentic ways of relaying relevant past events.
