Snow and Roses

Max Snow has always been uncomfortable in the spotlight. But dating Rhiannon Rose, the most popular girl at his college, meant that everyone was focusing on him. And after Rhiannon's sudden (and mysterious) suicide, he's being looked at more than ever.
Joanna Mayer is an old acquaintance of Rhiannon's who meets Max. Gentle and intuitive, she is a breath of fresh air amidst all the calamities in his life. But could that intuition get her into trouble, especially with her growing concern for Max's mental state?
Fred Sakamoto saw something the night Rhiannon died, something he's been keeping a secret. But he's afraid that revealing it will cost him, especially his friendship with Max. But he may need to speak up, and fast.
June Deacon was Rhiannon's closest friend...and she doesn't believe that Rhiannon committed suicide. She's determined to do anything to uncover the truth of what happened that night, her investigation bordering on obsession.

When Max meets Joanna, he finds hope that he can heal after Rhiannon. However, their growing friendship (and possibly more) is complicated by Rhiannon's shadow lingering over him. How can he become close to Joanna when he can practically hear Rhiannon calling him a murderer?

Told from multiple perspectives, there's always a story behind every relationship...some darker than others.
