“Cooper, we need to talk.” Brianna said from outside my office door, but I ignored her and the door was locked anyway so she couldn’t come in. “Cooper Alexander Harvey, I won’t say it again.”
I hated when she pulled out the big guns and called me by my full name. It didn’t happen often, but when it did I felt the same as that confused kid who’d ended up at Uncle Jeremiah’s place with his belongings in a duffle. My hold on today was loosening, my thoughts unraveling, and my happy peaceful place was gone. Partly because I’d been dragged into a meeting I hadn’t known about, and partly because somehow the big red headed man had intimidated the life out of me. I stared at my knuckles, white as I gripped my desk, and counted back from twenty, attempted to settle my breathing, but nothing was working. Now was not the time for a panic attack, or to vanish up to my apartment for three days and avoid all human contact, both things were on my to-do list whenever I was out of control.
“I told you that the board wanted you to have a front facing project.” She sighed. “I gave you months of notice on that, and put today’s meeting in your journal. Did you look at your journal?”
I glanced at the heavy tome sitting on the edge of my desk, close to falling to the floor. Sometimes the thing would be full to bursting with my ideas, and doodles, and colored tape demarcated each subject, and I even drew tiny ladybugs as bullet points. Other times the days were empty as I failed to connect to real life. I failed to find a happy medium, just like I failed a lot of things.
“Check your journal,” Brianna prompted, and I released my grip on the desk and reached for the leather bound story of my life, touching the worn outside, and then yanking my hand back as if I’d been burned.
Blade
Love doesn’t have a formula. It’s messy, unpredictable, and impossible to control for the autistic billionaire inventor and the hockey player who believes he’s lost everything.
Moral “Dunny” Dunkirk has a passion for life. A robust outdoorsman, lover of life, and one of the Boston Rebels fan favorites, Dunny has always embraced excitement and the drive to try new things. During his inaugural flight behind the controls of a small plane, the fates decide to test his mettle in a way that he had never envisioned. When everything crashes down around him, he’s lost in depression and alone in his cabin, facing an existence that is nothing like the one he previously led. Desperate to find some hope, Dunny reaches out to The Harvey Foundation who might be able to help, and he soon finds himself being lifted out of the pit of darkness he’d fallen into one shy uplifting smile at a time.
Accidental billionaire and inventor Cooper Harvey is happy in the seclusion of his lab, determined to make the world a better place. His autism gifts him with a unique vision but the media label him as quirky, reclusive, or a genius, and it’s only in the most splendid isolation his vast wealth can buy that he feels safe. He goes out of his way to avoid sex with all its complicated and messy emotions, but a chance meeting with a test subject for his latest invention shakes his carefully controlled world. Interest in the hockey player who thinks he’s lost everything shows Cooper that life can’t be measured in chemical reactions, and attraction is unpredictable and messy. Terrified of facing something new, he doesn’t know where to turn, but maybe if he’s brave and with a partner who sees beneath the surface, he can finally find a love that makes sense.
