Book two in the R.M. Dolin What Is to Be Done trilogy
What if there’s more to love than not being able to bear the thought of being without someone, wanting nothing more than to see them happy, and never wanting to leave their side? What if this thing called love is not even romantic, is not a form of friendship, and is not the love one feels for family? Is it even love, and if not, what is it? This is the question Jake and Sympatico must sort out, while their cohorts in the Americans for a New America (ANA) group, set out to bring down a powerful human trafficking ring and allude capture by Alvarez – the government Watcher sent to hunt them down.
