Grady is complexity personified.
He represses his emotions to the point of overload. When he
does show emotion, it’s usually in the form of rage as
he lashes out at his favorite target, Avery. Seeing Avery
as the epitome of everything wrong with the female of the
species, he rages against her in an attempt to drive her from
his brother’s life. All he ends up really accomplishing
is ruining his own life by alienating all those who care about
him.
The person who cares about him most, Jade, has seen just what
his hatred of Avery can drive him to do. She feels betrayed
by his refusal to give up his vendetta against Avery and has
left him in anger and heartbreak. Grady, a recovery alcoholic,
slipped into old habits and found his solace in a bottle of
bourbon.
While Grady’s addiction to alcohol
and his anger towards Avery ravage his life, they aren’t
his only problems. He also has to deal with his recently returned
ex-wife, Susan, who seems poised to reclaim her position in
Grady’s life and his bed. Grady, however, wants nothing
to do with her…but he says that about alcohol too. Will
Grady give in to Susan the way he has with alcohol? Or will
his love for Jade bring him into the happiness he’s always
longed for?
