Leaving the FBI isn't his first choice, but taking a job in personal security is a better fit for his new life. Gavin Hart just wants to be happy, but contentment is hard to come by with patrons of his club being attacked. When the threats turn more personal, hiring a bodyguard seems like a good idea. Unfortunately, he wasn't expecting to feel such an intense connection to Javier. He's played this game before, and he knows how it ends. When the assaults escalate to murder, Javier has bigger problems than assuring Gavin that what they have is real. Can he keep Gavin safe and convince him that love is nothing to fear? Or will the stubborn club owner prove to be a bigger challenge than he can handle?
