“È già abbastanza difficile quando si è in due. Aggiungere un terzo al mix è... non lo so, non vi sembra che sia come andare in cerca di guai?”

Non è stato facile, ma l’addestratore di cavalli Dan Wheeler, ha cominciato a costruirsi una nuova vita, e ha trovato il suo posto in California con i suoi amanti Evan Kaminski e Jeff Stevens. Quando le cose tra loro funzionano, è tutto spettacolare: c’è affetto, divertimento, passione. Ma spesso, non va così bene.

Dan continua a soffrire per la morte del suo precedente compagno e a volte dubita persino di meritare la felicità. Evan è geloso e considera un rivale chiunque catturi le attenzioni di Dan, incluso Jeff. E Jeff si domanda se non sia troppo vecchio per loro due e prende in considerazione la possibilità di farsi da parte. A dispetto dei suoi propositi, Dan comincia a legarsi sempre di più ai due uomini, ma non è sicuro che questo basti a risolvere tutto. Sa che fa male stare insieme, deve solo capire se farebbe ancora più male doversi separare.

Guards of Folsom: Book Four

Life has been known by a series of constants. Violence, anger, drugs, sex, death, heartbreak, pain, fear and the most common, hunger. Always hunger. Not the kind that can be satisfied with food, but the kind born of circumstance. The kind that not only claws within a gut, but settles into a heart, consumes a mind. Deeper. Encircles, penetrates the soul. Hunger for something more, something better, safer. Always just out of grasp.

Craving. Starved.

It’s part of me.

Who I am.

Born of blood and violence, hunger is my fate.

Yet, the slightest things can change the directions of a life. An unplanned circumstance, random act—a connection—a chance event, like a lightning strike, fate trumped.

Jamie is my lightning strike.
                                                      Tek Cain
