Eliot Arden is a Seattle artisan and handywoman. Her put-together life worked well until she met Destiny, a teenage orphan who needs stability and mentoring as an artist.

Sean Frederick Wentworth, the manga artist, has the artistic career of his dreams.

The only catch: a demonic ex-partner who seeks to destroy Sean’s new project.
Ten years ago, Eliot and Sean enjoyed a brief affair of the heart. However, they couldn’t conquer the contradictions: artist versus artisan, East Coast versus West Coast, fame versus solitude. On this new Journey to the West, though, dreams and desires might heat up like red slickrock in the sun.
