Grant`s Blaze, Angel Payne, Victoria Blue

Being someones rock is a role Rio Gibson never saw herself playing. On most days, shes not convinced she can even care for her adopted stray cat. But waiting for the safe return of the man she loves might be the most excruciating trial of her life, and shes pulled herself together with strength she never knew existed.

Grant Twombley has reached his limit. Normally gregarious and good-natured, his spirit takes a leave of absence after hes returned to Rios side. Hes unharmed--or so it appears. He never thought hed revisit the dark side of his temperament, but it slides back into place like his favorite worn-in jeans. And what do you know? The damn things still fit.

Maybe a little too well.
