Pokey — Esther E. Schmidt

Pokey is a lot of things; built like a tank, loyal as hell, and...a daddy? Orianna had good reasons for doing the things she has done, but that doesn't make the guilt go away. Will the new parents have a chance to become a family, where partnership is the perfect balance of trust and commitment? Or will danger slice open old wounds and create new ones, preventing the healing necessary to move on.
