If someone took everything you live for, how far would you go to get it back?
When a faulty time machine deposits Diego at the top of a pine tree, he knows he's in the wrong place--but has no idea he's in the wrong time. Naked and shivering in the chilly mountain air, he attempts to climb down, but slips, whacks his head, and falls into oblivion.
He wakes up inside a darkened room, crippled and disheartened, and must come to grips with the realization that he is marooned in a bleak alternate future. In this universe, what remains of the human race is trapped inside a handful of aging biodomes. With his mission failed, his world destroyed, and the one woman he loves, dead, he can find no reason to go on living.
But Lani, the emotionally scarred doctor who finds him, refuses to let him die, and as Diego heals, their relationship becomes... complicated. He struggles to let go of the past but is unable to get Isabel out of his head--or his heart. Just when it seems he may be able to find some measure of happiness in a world teetering on the edge of extinction...
Another note arrives from the future: Isabel is alive--but not for long...

If someone took everything you live for, how far would you go to get it back?
From award-winning author D. L. ORTON comes book three in the Between Two Evils series...
Shannon fights to stay alive inside a rogue biodome and discovers something totally unexpected... Peter. Lani is forced into the role of the reluctant heroine but rediscovers her street-kid mojo and sets out to find everything she's lost. Diego receives another dirty sock (and a note) from the poorly aimed fireball express: "The window between universes is closing." If Diego has any hope of getting back to Iz, he must get to the Magic Kingdom and power up the time machine before it's too late.
What could possibly go wrong?

Crossing In Time (Excerpt #1)
D. L. Orton
Between Two Evils #1
The chubby gun trader shifts his weight and looks up
at me, one eye squeezed shut. “What sort of rearm you lookin’ to purchase,
ma’am?” He’s enthroned on a maroon chintz armchair in front of a burned-out
Walmart.
“Handgun,” I say. “Something easy to aim and shoot.”
Behind me, a handful of men mill about a few meager
stalls. I can feel their stares pecking against my back, an unarmed woman
traveling alone. I force down a flood of disturbing memories and focus on the
task at hand: protecting myself in a world gone all to hell.
“You come to the right place, little lady.” He
glances down at my hiking boots and then drags his gaze up my torso, his top
lip curling. “I got a Walther P-22 I might be willin’ to trade.”
I’ve never heard of Walther, and I have no idea what
a P-22 is—for all I know, it could be a water pistol. I stand there staring at
him, trying to get my brain to engage.
The King of Walmart takes off his sweat-stained
baseball cap. “Well, lady?” His sunburned skin is covered with grime, and his
matted hair is thinning. He leans over the torn fabric and spits into the dirt.
“You here to buy somethin’ or just gawk at my goods?”
There are snickers from behind me, and my fingers
curl around the pepper spray in my pocket.
C’mon, Isabel, you can do this.
I cross my arms and set my jaw, bringing up the
image of Ripley facing down the Alien, and then sweep a razor-sharp gaze over
the rubberneckers.
Heads turn away.
At least they have some humanity left.
