title: Operation Green Card
author: Gordon, G.B.
description: The Bluewater Bay stories can be enjoyed in any order - jump in wherever you'd like! Arkady Izmaylov is a family man. He's also gay. In Russia. His sister Natalya has been telling him to get out for years, but it's only after an attack in the street that he finally concedes and says yes to her desperate plan of him marrying a stranger for a green card. Jason Cooley was taught from birth that he's no good to anyone. Then the military taught him he was good enough to save other lives, but that purpose got amputated along with his leg. He's now working security at Wolf's Landing and sending monthly checks to his ex for their daughter's education. When Natalya asks him to marry her brother, Jason knows right away he'll do it more for the mission than the money she's offering. But when he actually meets Arkady, his mission turns complicated. Jason quickly discovers he's not as straight as he thought. He's also the man of Arkady's dreams. Arkady must convince Jason that he's worth loving, and that Arkady won't disappear from his life like everyone else. Because Arkady has always wanted a family of his own, and he's not letting go of this one.
