Zeke - town sheriff - followed his father's footsteps, but with a different outcome/purpose... His father became embroiled with the local terrorist/Freedom Fighter group, with behaviors including murder, sexual extremes, etc... and he brainwashed/tricked Zeke into killing a man when he was 14... Zeke & his mother left then & went to California, where Zeke's father continued to sent her pictures of their activities, as a protection... as an adult, when Zeke's mother, father, and wife were killed as a warning about those pictures, Zeke returned to town with the intention of taking them down... 10 years later he is frustrated as he isn't much closer to the truth & those in positions to help are hiding information from him and using him...

Rogue - biker bar owner / restaurant manager for Alex & ???... her father had also been one of the Freedom Fighters, but had taken his wife and moved to Boston to protect his family... Rogue returned to town 5 years earlier as a High School teacher, where her defense of Zeke's son against the Freedom Fighter's head honchos led to them drugging and photographing her in comprimising situations and getting fired... stubborn, she stayed in town, took over her father's biker bar, got tough, learned to fight - and did everything she could to attract Zeke's attention.

Zeke, though attracted, stayed stoic with Rogue because he didn't want to put her off with his powerful / dominant / more extreme adult sexuality - somehting his wife was put off by, and he has hidden/controlled for 10 years and because he felt he needed to finish with the Freedom Fighters and not put Rogue at risk.

But, due to circumstances, and it just being time... he can no longer keep away from her...

It is interesting to me that the 3 of the 5 Nauti books have men who sexually experiment a bit more than the average male... and yet they have virgin women, who jump right in... what does the author think about women, I wonder?

Zeke finally figures out he had all of the evidence he needed in the pictures his mother had in storage, and pulls them out and pieces things together, contacting the authoriites... but It ends up that Rogue's honorary uncle, main bartender, defensive arts teacher is actually heavily embroiled with the Freedom Fighters, and killing off members of her extended family... and is out for Rogue and the pictures... of course Naches & Zeke get there in a nick of time to save her...

and one year later, all are happily married, the Freedom Fighters are persecuted or dead, and the three Nauti cousins have 3 beautiful duaghters that in another 2-0 years with be the Nauti girls : )
