The Perils of Intimacy Rick R Reed

Mark believes he's meeting Jimmy for the first time in the diner where he works, but he's wrong. Mark has no recollection of their original encounter because the wholesome Jimmy of today couldn't be more different than he was two years ago. Back then, Jimmy sported multiple piercings and facial hair. He was painfully skinny--and a meth addict. The drug transformed him into a lying, conniving thief.

Mark doesn't associate the memory of a hookup gone wrong with this fresh-faced twenty-something... but Jimmy knows. Can Mark see Jimmy for the man he is now and not the addict he was? The answers depend on whether true love holds enough light to shine through the darkness of past mistakes.
