Firefly Cove - 2

Since the age of seven, Lucius Quarterfield has known he is dying.

Doctors told him he had a 'bad ticker' and might not live to see his next birthday.

But somehow, the frail yet determined boy managed to hang on and surprise everyone.

The bullies who teased him. The family who neglected him. The professionals who offered little hope for a normal life.

To their surprise, Lucius not only survived to adulthood, he thrived, turning a small car dealership into a successful chain.

But now, at twenty-eight, his time is finally running out.

So he's returning to the one place he ever felt happy, near the only woman he ever truly wanted - the California seaside town of Miramar Bay.

Was it so much to ask, a healthy tomorrow shared with a woman he loved?
