Worlds Apart: Destined Drabbles, #1

By Dark Rose Press

Distance, class, culture—even galaxies—nothing will keep separate hearts destined to be together. Desire, Lust, Love—against all odds.

Destiny leads hearts to unexpected encounters so they can experience love unparalleled. When these fated hearts join, they make each other stronger, rising to conquer all obstacles: differences, distances—even time itself.
This collection of 100-word tales celebrate the power of what it means to be DESTINED.
