Romance isn’t always sweetness and light. On the raw edge of desperation, men and women are rarely gentle flowers to be admired. They are not fluffy French pastries to be leisurely savored on a Sunday morning with tea.
They are warriors, trained to fight what no one should have to; survivors and scholars, thieves and liars, men and women with secrets and scars. They are a shot of Wild Turkey with a bullet in the bottom of the glass.
