-Immersion by Colleen Nye-

Three things Seren knew: #1 Her life felt odd being so tame. #2 She lost her parents when she was young and missed then dearly. #3 Her life was never going to be the same after the day Chase came back into it.

In a world, not unlike our own, the economy has tanked allowing the inhabitants to seek solace in a world of virtual gaming. Now, money hungry corporations will stop at nothing to make a buck, even if that means releasing a product that will claim millions of lives.

Synthia is a beauty like no other – not only on the inside but as well on the outside. She's used to men falling over her, but she never made a big deal about her appearance. Accomplished in business, intelligent, with a great sense of style, she's pleased that she can finally get married to a man who she's only content with. Just as she makes good arm candy for him, it's reciprocal for her. Plus after a past incident, she swore she would only allow herself to date well to do professional men who made a legitimate living. Her only fault she could say was her voracious curiosity. And on the day before she knows George is to propose, her best friend puts in her head the one thing she has never Done: Slept with a guy outside of her race. With her beauty, she can't just find anyone, so she does what anyone in her position and wealth would do: She finds a professional. Let's just hope George never finds out what a good time she had.Order Now | Click here
