Back by reader request!

I'd taken this story off my site in order to rework it. Then I got busy with other books, and this one is still in its original state. NOTE: This is one of my earlier works, and while I love the characters and the story, I like to think my writing skills have improved since then. For news of my current and soon-to-be-released books, please see my revamped site for news and more about me.

If this doesn't frighten you away, please join me on the one step forward, two step back journey of Joey, the vegetarian ex-beach bunny from Santa Cruz, CA and Cole, the Montana cattle rancher.
