Norman Patterson believes that the world is against him. Why wouldn't he, when his brother's demeaning and abusive comments keep him awake at night, ravaging his mind?

With his unique, hardly appropriate survival skills and damaged self-esteem, the largely self-absorbed, sometimes clueless man, sets on a mission to prove to the world that he can find love, no matter the cost.

It appears there's no one more suitable for the job than the woman he simply cannot stop thinking about.




NB

'Beneath The Surface' explores the effects of child abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, and low self-worth. While I might throw in some form of humor to lighten the mood, none of these issues should be taken lightly. 

🚫 Trigger warning; Some scenes portray abuse, violence, and self-harm.

Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable.

Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
