Strangers In Paradise, Volume 2 by Terry Moore

The second volume continues the intimate, character-driven soap-opera about two close friends—one guarded and volatile, the other warm and steady—and the complicated love triangle that draws in a thoughtful outsider; as secrets from a violent past surface, jealousy, betrayal and criminal entanglements escalate, blending sharp humor and sudden violence while probing loyalty, identity and the messy costs of desire.
