Chained Hearts

Todd and Nick Ruger are on the run after narrowly escaping the war in New Colorado, where they were implicated in the assassination of Chancellor Shaffer. Todd is gravely ill and Nick has serious injuries, but thats the least of their problems. Theyre alone with dwindling supplies and facing the harsh winter bearing down on them far north in Yellowknife Protectorate.

Just when it seems theyre trapped between the proverbial rock and hard place, they are offered refuge with a doctor in the isolated town of Elks Ridge. As they heal, theyre offered a fresh start in Elks Ridge. But just as they begin to rebuild their lives, tragedy strikes.

Victor Raleigh, the new Vice-Chancellor of New Colorado, knows all about Nicks psychic abilities, and hell settle for nothing less than total control over Nick. Hes aligned himself with a vicious creature, a type of psychic vampire capable of wielding control over individuals such as Nick. When Nick is betrayed and captured, Todd sees no alternative but to head back into the war zone to rescue him.

Will Nick be the same man Todd loves after Raleighs pet psychic vampire is through with him? Can Nick accept the fact Todd can love him after what Raleigh forces him to do, or will his guilt consume and destroy him?
