There's Something In A Name

by Louis Berry

Owen Taylor holds on tightly to the secret of his fortune for fear it would be taken away. Without parental guidance no one is left to instill in him the desire to search beyond basic physical needs for the path to an eternal existence. Incapable of understanding the immense potential contained within his brief relationship with Julia, their association ends when he finds her with a handsome Italian named Gianni. Living in Key West, Owen spends his nights wandering the city's raucous streets. Physical encounters lose their luster when he meets Monica. Her dark Venezuelan features smolder so deeply within him that she inhabits a place far beneath his calloused psyche known by only one other woman. For the first time he understands when a man and a woman truly care for one another their flesh is merely a conduit to a truly ethereal experience. Can Owen survive his own hubris long enough to find the one person he can love eternally, eliminating the fear that death represents finality?
