Two novella length books that were early works of Josh Lanyon. It's been published as two stories in the same book and as single copies. It has been said that her later Adrien English series characters of Adrien and Jake were based on the characters of Daniel Moran and Sean Fairchild. I was a bit confused with exactly where she was going with the plot here. Not that it was bad but by the second book, The White Knight, I was beginning to wonder if Dan, who seemed to be very real in the first book, The Dark Horse might have been a figment of Sean's fragile but vivid imagination. Actually, the two books with the different POV's would have been better if they had been combined into one. The story was good after I finally got it sorted out, and I really liked the way it ended. I love Josh Lanyon's work, and this early one was worthy of 4 stars. I couldn't help but think of all the treasures she was going to turn out after this one. ( )
