Abithica

What if you knew you were about to be torn from your body and replaced by an imposter in a seamless switch forever separating you and the one you love? Would you do whatever it took to stay? Even if YOU happened to be the imposter?

Abithica must borrow all that she is from others: names, lives, even bodies, but only for periods of time she cannot control. When she switches into the troubled life of Sydney Turner she breaks the one rule that has sustained her--never get attached--and learns the pain of loving and being loved in return. Lane Riley has no idea he's fallen for Abithica, wearing Sydney Turner's body, or that he's asked the impossible when he suggests marriage. Desperate to stay with him, Abithica struggles to uncover the mystery of what she is, only to learn she's a pawn in the eternal battle over souls, and worse, she's more than likely one of the "bad guys." What will happen if she refuses to leave the body she's inhabited?
