When I picked up this book, I had no idea what its title, `Triptych' meant or was alluding to.  It seems the term technically refers to a set of three pictures or panels, hinged together so that the two wing panels fold over the larger central one.  Inspiration enough for author Java Davis, whose story Triptych is essentially one of a love triangle, with character Hannah at the centre.We're introduced to the story through Hannah, who leaves New Jersey for a manager's job in Phoenix, Arizona.  The only problem is, Hannah is a young female entering what is essentially a man's domain...a challenge Hannah is not afraid to tackle head-on, although, unbeknown to her, it's far from the only challenge she'll be facing.Enter Warrior, a big, heavily-tattooed, scary-looking man and one of Hannah's new subordinates in her role as manager.  Though initially reluctant to get too close, Hannah finds herself endeared by Warrior, and the more she comes to understand him and his past, the more their connection seems to grow.Unfortunately for Hannah, a ghost from her past in the form of former lover Declan arrives on the scene.  Hannah still holds a candle to Declan and this muddies the waters, as Hannah finds herself trapped between the love of an honest man and the temptations of old.The story is told from the viewpoints of Hannah, Warrior, and Declan, switching between the three, which I liked.  It added a certain something to the novel, by giving the reader the opportunity to come to know each of the three main characters on a more personal level, thereby lending an understanding to their motives and subsequent actions which may have otherwise seemed tacky.The only issue I had was the occasional lack of spacing between words in the kindle edition, though it wasn't a problem enough that it detracted from the essence of the story.A satisfying read.
