Safe Inside The Lilacs William Thomas Bailey

Rayce Jainz had a classic muscle car, the kind of best friend all of us hope for, and a job he loved that paid very, very well. He was what the old-timers referred to as "a stand-up guy," and he'd been that way from a very early age. Strong, handsome, respected-Rayce Jainz had it all... including a reserve that usually made him the quietest guy in the room. Stacia Jainz was smart, beautiful, and anything but reserved. She was the one person who walked into any room and demanded attention simply through her very presence. She knew the world was wonderful but flawed... and she believed she was the one to smooth away every blemish, buff away each imperfection, and right every wrong. The differences between the siblings may have helped define them, but it was their unbreakable love and loyalty to each other that made them inseparable. Saint or sinner, life can get in the way... and fate can deal the cruelest of hands. For Rayce and Stacia Jainz, a promise made is a promise kept... even if it meant the end of their bond.
