Chess: Volume Three

End Game Things are changing again for the foursome. Can they weather these changes as they do everything else - together? Things are changing again for Bishop, Knight, Rook and Jason. Not only is Jason going back to school, but Knight has bought a cottage on a lake several hours away, and none of them are quite sure what it all means for their family of four. As Knight loses himself in his art at the cottage and Jason begins the hard work needed to keep up with school, Rook and Bishop call each other often to stay in touch, but it isn't the same thing as all four of them being together. Could this be the beginning of two couples and the end of their foursome just when Jason was settling into being a part of this weird but wonderful family? Or will they find a way to make it work just like they have everything else? The Piercer's Game Luke sees a lot in his job as a piercer, but for all that, he's shy and lonely. Can live-in-the-moment Temple open his eyes to life's pleasures? Luke's a piercer and owns a successful business with his tattooing partner. Despite his job and his inked and pierced appearance, Luke is actually quite shy and lonely, not to mention inexperienced. An event from his past has left him unable to open up completely to anyone and it's easier for him to just keep to himself. Temple is a cancer survivor, coming up on five years cancer free. He's travelling across North America on the back of his motorcycle, just going where the wind blows him. Ever since first being diagnosed, he turned into a true believer of living in the moment. When Temple first turns up at Luke's shop, Temple is immediately drawn to the quiet piercer. First he's going to have to convince Luke that there's something between them... then he's going to have to work his way past Luke's defences.
