Until the Next Death.
Every life ends the same way... violent, sudden, and far too soon.
Conner is twenty-four years old, and the nightmares have begun. Not ordinary dreams, but vivid, brutal memories of deaths that feel impossibly real. A sword through the chest while stealing bread for his starving sister in 1204. A samurai’s blade opening his guts as he tries to protect his wife in feudal Japan. Bullets tearing through him in the mud of the Western Front. Poison burning in his veins in an elegant 18th-century ballroom. Drowning in the freezing North Atlantic. A gladiator’s sword in the Colosseum sand. Countless other lives cut short before he could ever reach twenty-five.
And in every one of them, she was there.
When a desperate late-night search leads him to a hidden online forum, he finds her... Aiko. The woman whose soul has walked beside his through centuries of love, loss, and tragedy. Sister. Wife. Lover. Sometimes even the hand that delivered his end. The connection is immediate, undeniable, and terrifying. Contacting her could be the very act that seals his fate once more. Ignoring the pull might let him survive… but it would mean another lifetime without the only person who has ever truly known him.
As the memories intensify and the clock ticks toward his twenty-fifth birthday, Conner and Aiko must decide whether to risk everything to find each other in this life... or let fear keep them apart forever. Their bond, forged across blood and time, may be the only force strong enough to challenge an ancient curse that has doomed them for millennia.
Raw, sensual, and emotionally devastating, Until the Next Death is a sweeping story of reincarnation, undying love, and the desperate fight to break a cycle written in death. It is a tale of passion that transcends lifetimes, chosen family forged in fire, and the hope that two souls who refuse to stop finding each other might finally build something that lasts.
