A World Away

Nathan Duffy knows how to keep things locked down so tight even he doesn't know they're there. Like his childhood trauma over the near-catastrophe he almost caused when his power manifested. His adolescent resentment over the near fatal injury he still hasn't really accepted. His futile not-so-platonic love for his best friend Cam. And that one pivotal moment when the love and the power had merged to save Cam from the accident that left Nathan unable to walk. Nathan figures losing the use of his legs was a fair exchange for Cam's life. He just can't ever let Cam know why.
For Cam Almenara, life has been an ongoing cycle of questioning reality. What if his mother hadn't died when he was ten? What if that drunk driver hadn't almost killed him and Nathan? What if Nathan's powers hadn't protected Cam at the cost of Nathan's ability to walk? What if Nathan had never convinced himself that Cam's feelings for him are nothing more than attachment and survivor's guilt? And what if Cam can never convince Nathan otherwise?When Nathan is suddenly stricken by seizure like nightmares, his power slips its leash-again. Fearful his rogue abilities will hurt-or worse, kill-Cam, Nathan comes to the conclusion that it's him or Cam. Nathan knows who he'll choose. Trouble is, so does Cam. And he's just as willing as Nathan is to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the best friend he loves... and prove they belong together.
