It feels like the setup to the three Georges which is weird because they all took different names because of the George name collision so they're referred to as Con, Hawk, and Van.

I suspect they're complete stories in and of themselves, but I'll correct that if it turns out false. It's a great story.

It's simple in its structure, though there's depth in the emotion and events. I liked both Van and Maria very much, even though Van takes the tortured soul thing farther than I normally like. I couldn't help but fall for him in the end, though, as his strength asserts itself and his determination to help them both over the objections of their disparate ages she's eight years his senior and expectations.

I really liked the heroine's motivations - they veered into Mary Sue territory, but there were a couple of redeeming qualities that kept it from being way too much. Vendeiman's motivations are extremely clear and I thought some of the early moments comical. I liked the gradual back and forth and renegotiation.
