    About this ebook

    Daniel’s more scared of his feelings for Richard than being stranded on a tropical island.

    When a business trip goes awry, it leaves Daniel and Richard stranded with more to contend with than just the problem of survival. What’s a man to do when he’s not sure whether to feel more frightened his feelings aren’t reciprocated than the threat of wild animals on the island?

    He might get eaten ... but only if he’s extremely lucky.

    Sharon Maria Bidwell

    Sharon was born in London on New Year’s Eve. She has always followed many creative pursuits. Eventually, her love of books and a wild imagination compelled her to focus on writing. Her work has appeared steadily in both print and electronic publications. Her short story “Bitter and Intoxicating” was snapped up for inclusion in the anthology Red Velvet and Absinthe. She writes whatever her warped mind can come up with and is quite capable of writing something darker, grittier, and even outright twisted. For more information, visit sharonbidwell.co.uk.

      Maneater

      By Sharon Maria Bidwell

      They advise you to stay with the wreckage. Daniel said this not for the first time, the second or the third. The conversation would be equally productive if he addressed his remarks silently. He clawed his fingers into the sand and pressed his teeth together so hard his jaw ached. He only eased up because of the fear he might break something.

      Richard continued to ignore him, having paid little attention of any comment to spill from Daniel’s mouth all morning. His boss put on a display of unprecedented contempt, stepping over Daniel where he lay on the beach. One shouldn’t expect much respect from some management types, but while he withstood bullshit relating to work, Daniel took the spray of sand falling from Richard’s footwear on to his legs as a personal insult.

      Richard crouched, stuffing items into a rucksack. Daniel remained on his back, staring up at a serene and pale blue sky, his emotions anything but tranquil. With his thoughts in turmoil, he managed to keep his panic at bay only by sheer will. The turbulence thrived in deep, dark recesses of his mind never previously tapped. They might be facing serious trouble. How could Richard refuse to consider the situation grave?

      Daniel swallowed. He should have chosen a better word. He didn’t want to consider anything linked to a burial place on such a beautiful day.

      The weather had improved, at least, though the thought threatened to send him spiralling into maniacal laughter. To gaze at the sky now, one would never believe twelve hours prior one murderous storm forced them inland. Terror—the distraction of fighting for his life—the only reason the entire contents of his stomach didn’t end up in the ocean as the waves turned choppy. Too-familiar queasiness had taken hold even before the conditions became hostile. If sea legs were an actual thing and existed, Daniel would never possess them. All he recalled of the previous day were hours of anxiety and torment. Time spent unable to appreciate the sun or the scenery until even those turned against him.

      Infuriating. His boss was utterly infuriating.

      Richard knew Daniel hated the water,
