Piercen Hamilton is his name and he has been calling this two bedroom house his home his whole life. He inherited the place from his parents when they died on his eighteenth birthday. A tragic car accident leaving him with their money. He isn't poor from their wealth they left behind and his late father's construction business he took over. But despite the steady income from the bussiness he continues to rent out the room downstairs. Living alone here would be lonely to most in the redwoods and lonesomeness is part of the reason. Company, affection, love but not the money. Murder, rape, a perfect forced romance between him and another is more like it. When a young couple first arrive at the house Piercen appeared and sounded harmless. All was a lie to get them inside. See he hadn't intended to rent to two people. He prefers one girl, less the mess to clean up. Two is a bigger risk he is taking on but the moment he saw Helen he knew he wanted her.
