Zara's Bois 1
Zack and the Dark Shaft
Spoiled, aimless party-girl Zara Benjamin has never had to work a day in her life. At twenty-eight, she's just discovered something she wants as much as her best friend since college, the unattainable Quincy Powers. But when an elevator door opens minus the car, all these hopes and dreams are forever dashed…or are they?
Successful financial whiz Quincy Powers made his fortune on Wall Street before his thirtieth birthday and left the rat race behind before the stress of trading could claim his sanity. Instead of the game keeping him awake, however, he now has the horrible sound of his best friend's screams to haunt his nights.
Until two angels intervene and send Zara on a mission in the body of her twin brother,
Zack Benjamin...

REVIEWS
for Zack and the Dark Shaft [Zara's
Bois 1]
Recommended
Read: "This story plays
from all different angles to build a
strong and desirable piece. Twists of
characters and events cause the reader to
hold on and refuse to put it down. It
gives you a look at how things are on the
other side of the white light and teaches
that love pulls from all sides. I couldn't
stop smiling at Zack's character and
personality. It is a typical male persona.
Quince is the perfect match for Zack's
character and he makes you want to cheer
for his drive for a life-long partner. The
author does an amazing job using all the
emotions in this story to evolve it to an
ending that will leave you needing more."
—Cassie, Romance Erotica Connection
4 Stars:
"Ms. McKeever has created an interesting story about
learning what love and friendship is truly
about. I loved how Quince was able to see
beyond Zack's facade to see that the
person he was seeing wasn't the man he
loved, but his dead sister. I enjoyed the
interplay between the angels and how they
left things up to Zara to decide her fate.
I look forward to the next installment of
Zara's Bois."

EXCERPT
Zara
woke the next morning achy and invigorated, stretched her limbs
to test their flexibility. Or rather she stretched and tested
Zack’s flexibility. She didn’t know whether to thank Micah
and Jamaereh or curse them for this divine sex-switch until she
remembered her night and morning with Quincy.
He
was everything she’d ever thought he would be and more in a
lover. Even with the unexpected development of her having to
finally enjoy his tender and firm strokes as a man—her twin
brother no less—she still found herself looking forward to
their next session of lovemaking with a strong mixture of hunger
and anticipation.
She
sat up in bed beneath the navy-blue, satin sheet and hugged
herself. She felt like a bride on her honeymoon, every nerve
tingling with afterglow.
Could
they top all of the orgasms they achieved last night?
Zara
smiled, eager to find out until she glanced over at
Quincy.
Poor
baby was sprawled face down, lightly snoring and looking totally
wasted.
She
would have roused him until she remembered the opening last
night and how hard he’d worked tending to everyone’s needs
and making sure the nightclub was a success.
Her
nightclub.
Zara
got all choked up when she remembered Quincy smiling down at her
surrounded by all the trappings she’d described in her
nightclub business plan. He’d followed her outline all the way
down to the minutest detail.
She
was so grateful, she could have hugged Quincy last night when
she’d first emerged in Zack’s body while Zack drifted to
sleep in the VIP lounge. But she was stuck playing it cool for
fear that she might give too much away too soon.
Her
brother liked to have a good time, but was nowhere near the
party animal that Zara was, and Quincy would have noticed Zack
acting out of character. Bad enough she’d slipped several
times and called him ‘big handsome’ when no one else in the
world used that nickname for him but her. Not that Quincy had
noticed. He’d been too busy pursuing and drooling over Zack
every free moment he had away from his staff and customers.
Zara
smiled knowing the two people she loved most in the world had
finally gotten together. It wasn’t an ideal situation,
especially not for Zack, but at least she’d got them over
their first hurdle.
Somewhere
down deep she thought she should be jealous of her brother and
how much Quincy had enjoyed being with Zack when he’d never
wanted to give her the time of day where sex was concerned. She
knew she was being unreasonable, that Quincy was gay, but it
didn’t stop her from wanting more of him for herself. Didn’t
stop her from wanting him to know exactly who he had made love
to last night, that it wasn’t just Zack.
Okay,
maybe she was being an egotistical, spoiled brat, but old habits
died hard.
Zara
closed her eyes against a sudden wave of dizziness. She could
barely keep her eyes open they felt so heavy.
Zack
was waking up.
She
could feel him scratching and clawing his way to consciousness
even while she tried to hold onto awareness herself.
Damn
it, she wanted more time! This was so unfair.
Why
were those two angels toying with her like this, giving her only
a taste of Quincy through Zack?
She
wanted her own body. She wanted Quincy for herself.
