52-year-old Maya Applebaum is doing okay. She got laid off from her job teaching software design at a community college, but she managed to find a job at a company that designs educational games not too much later. She’s living like a nun (kind of funny, since she’s Jewish), but she has her job and her friends and Nimoy, her former ally cat turned cosseted house pet. Everything is okay.

Okay, that is, until she lands in bed with her landlord, Leander, who turns out to be not so human after all. Leander also turns out to be the most amazing cook, friend, and lover Maya’s ever known. When Maya is put in danger because of someone from his past, Leander faces down the threats to her life. But only she can face down the threat of a broken heart. 

STATUS: Almost done with an extensive rewrite.
