After the HighA Modern Gothic Romance/Fantasy Romance
by Sarah Brenner
Updated Description
18+ Romance: Ever wish you could journey to the depths of your soul and get a glimpse of the hidden world that’s shared with your one twin flame? This new fantasy romance introduces Derek, a small town handyman who gave up his dance with the Devil to follow in the footsteps of God. But in order to free himself from old temptations, he had to cast out his other half, freezing her away beneath the oceany depths of his soul.
His new life was going great until he agreed to help his second wife’s sister convert their old family barn into an animal shelter. Working hard to raise money for the project didn’t only stir up old memories as a thrill seeking salesman – it has him questioning every choice he’s made since sobering up.
Now, with winter coming, his spell is breaking. And everything he’s always wanted has him spinning out of control in a guilty web of lies, longing for the woman he left behind.
After the High is a character driven romance about addiction and loss. About walking on the edge without falling off, and never giving up on finding eternal happiness. This is my very first fantasy romance, inspired by both Gothic and religious themes. The concepts of Heaven, Hell and the existence of an astral plane have always fascinated me, and I wanted to explore the idea of two otherwise normal human beings with ties to the otherworld.
