( ) Jasper lives a quiet life in his secluded cabin. He doesn't have many visitors, which is why he's surprised when he finds Timmy Harwell holed up in one of his sheds. Timmy's ill and in need of some recuperation, and Jasper finds he enjoys the company as he nurses Timmy back to health. In fact, the two grow closer than either Jasper or Timmy would have guessed possible. But Timmy was running from something...and that something is trouble that Jasper may not be too pleased to learn about when it finally catches up with him. When two unlikely people come together, it's always interesting to me to see how an author chooses to build the relationship. There's a lightness to Jasper and Timmy's interactions, that I think contrasts what they are used to and contributes to how quickly they fall into step together. And it makes it all the more interesting when that world is knocked around a bit by the men who are hot on Timmy's tail. And when the truth about TImmy's past comes out...
When small-time thief Timmy Harwell recklessly "borrows" a Cadillac for a joyride, he doesn't expect to find a cool $100,000 in the trunk. His elation turns to terror when he realizes the SUV and the dough belong to Miguel Garcia, aka El Poco, a Tijuana drug dealer with a nasty reputation. Timmy sees only one way out: leave the stolen car behind and run as fast as he can. His getaway is cut short when a storm strands him outside Jasper Stone's secluded mountain cabin. Jasper finds Timmy in his shed, unconscious and burning up with fever, and takes care of the younger man, nursing him back to health. The two begin to grow close, but Jasper, a writer who seeks only solitude, is everything Timmy isn't. Straightforward, honest, and kind. Timmy needs Jasper's help-and wants his respect-so he hides his dishonest habits. But when El Poco comes after him, Timmy realizes he's not the only one at risk. His actions have also put Jasper in harm's way. Honesty now could mean Timmy loses the man he's come to love, but not being honest could mean far worse.
