 Stumbling through the RinaVerse, we come up next to the Thorns Duet.   Red Through and Black Thorns tell the story of Sebastian Weaver and Naomi Chester and their very messy, bloody love story.  Naomi is a cheerleader, in theory, but she has never really belonged to the inner circle.  Sebastian is the hunkiest football player.  When Reina Ellis, the queen bee of the cheerleaders, makes a dare for Sebastian to sleep with Naomi he has to take the bait and thus the chase begins.  And I mean that literally.
