Royce Gray is a southern gentleman. He was born and raised in Houston, Texas. He's 19 when his father decides it's time to move and live somewhere away from the pain of the loss of his mother. Moving to Forks, Washington is the last thing he wants to do. He's grown to love the melting heat of Texas and now he's stuck in rainy Forks where it takes a miracle for the sun to come out. He doesn't think he'll ever like Forks. Until of course someone gives him reason to. Enter Jasper Whitlock, a southern gentleman much like himself. A piece of home away from home. However, Jasper shows Royce that home isn't defined by a few walls and ceilings.. His home isn't walls but rather his arms. The chill of his skin, the golden honey of his eyes, and the way his voice sends shivers down his spine. For Royce, Jasper is his home.
