He was supposed to be a man from a tough world of
crime and danger. But he’d never fitted that image he was supposed to portray. He’d
always felt lost and out of his depth, like he was forever treading water.
Kayden
Cole – ex-junkie, one-time gangster’s toy and…birdwatcher
Mason
Pearce – the Miami narcotics detective assigned to protect Kayden while he
turns state’s evidence
Never had he wanted to
protect and cherish someone the way he did Kayden.
Mason
likes his men big, brawny and brainless. Kayden’s ten years younger, short and
slight. He’s also cerebral, introverted, and haunted by his past. Mason can’t
understand his instant attraction but it’s like being struck by a thunderbolt.
Closeted alone in a hotel room with Kayden for twelve hours every night, Mason
is driven beyond the edge of his control, but he’ll lose his job and compromise
Kayden’s safety if he tangles with him.
He was back to the lowest
place he had ever been—alone with nothing and nobody— and if someone wanted to
put him out of his misery, that was just fine.
Kayden’s damaged and scarred and in fear of his life. He lost the only man who ever meant anything to him and he’s suspicious of the cop’s motives. But Mason burrows beneath his skin, opens Kayden up and even though he’s scared, he wants to hope that finally, life will give him a break.
