It's been ten years since clean-cut, sexy-as-hell police officer Todd Keenan had a white-hot fling with Erin Brown, the provocative, wild rocker chick next door. Their power exchange in the bedroom got under his skin. But love wasn't in the cards just yet . . . Now, life has thrown the pair back together. But picking up where they left off is tough, in light of a painful event from Erin's past. As Todd struggles to earn her trust, their relationship takes an unexpected and exciting turn when Todd's best friend, Ben, ends up in their bed--and all three are quite satisfied in this relationship without a name. As the passion they share transforms Erin, will it be enough to help her face the evil she thought she had left behind?

Patrick Keeffe's tale is a time capsule peek into a vanishing age of print journalism. His journey takes him from weekly newspapers in Wisconsin and daily newspapers in California, to national magazines in New York City. He enhances his story by using extensive journal entries. Those notes, made after he left the city room for the night, add precise detail and immediacy, and create for readers a you-are-there experience. His adventures include earthquakes, youth gangs and serial gay murders. He encounters explorers, novelists, mountaineers, a renegade spy, struggling immigrants, a mercenary, renowned photographers, and an American president.The trip winds from the low-tech era of manual typewriters and scissors-and-paste-pot editing, through the newsroom's transition to computers, to digital-age writing for internet-based publications printed with pixels. Along the way, he learns his craft from some master writers and editors, keeps company with raffish colleagues, and finds work he loves. He recalls his first journalism teacher, a newspaper reporter, telling him, "If they ever find out we'd do this for free, we'll all be in trouble."
