Apart we suffer gaping wounds; together we’re picture perfect.

Zachary just wanted to put his wayward alpaca to bed for the night, but Butthole was determined to have an adventure. When he leads Zach to a neighboring cabin just in time to catch two men who obviously don’t belong, Zach’s forced to meet the woman who lives there. He just didn’t expect her to be both his soulmate and a forgetful, disorganized tech nerd. Luckily, he’s built for caretaking, but he needs her genuine love and affection in return.

Veronica wanted her family to respect her, but her struggle to focus, be on time, and stay organized had them constantly chastising her for being unprofessional. When strange things begin to happen, they’re convinced it’s just her issues manifesting across her life. Only her sexy neighbor believes the threat could be real. When he brings her food and affirms that she’s perfect just the way she is, Veronica finds herself wondering if he’s too good to be true.

If they can trust each other, Zach and Veronica could fill the gaps in each other’s heart and daily lives, but they’ll have to expose their vulnerability and risk total destruction to match align their souls.

This age-gap, opposites attract, romantic suspense novel features an alpaca with more curiosity than sense, the retired Navy sailor trying to keep him alive, and a software developing superstar who struggles with everyday life. With plenty of spice and no cheating, this standalone novel includes an HEA for the couple while leaving the overarching conflict to continue through the rest of the Taylor Industry series.
