Franklin Westbrook was a psychiatrist with a heart and passion. A rare commodity in the world of unethical doctors to be sure. It was his passion that drove him to be successful in his career, but it was his heart that would lead him to love.
Franklin Westbrook and Isaac Abelman had been close friends for years which afforded them a little conversational license with one another, so when Franklin asked Isaac about one of his patients, it was largely taken in stride. Franklin’s obsession with Isaac’s patient went a little further than just a mere curiosity; he had actually found her fetching and something she could not live without.
Franklin and Lila finally met and within a few short hours had begun opening up to one another, exploring the depths of each others’ ghosts and secrets. They both needed release; they needed someone in their lives who could stem the tide of superficial relationships. They needed and wanted more.
More is what they would receive and it was all they could handle.
Franklin had discovered that appearances could be deceiving and often terrifying. Lila wasn’t at all what he thought she would be and when he revealed that reality to all of his senses, he realized that he too had a dark side. The only light that could draw them both back from the brink was the light of love itself.
