Rhys is a man of contradictions and fear—a strange combination for a PI and bodyguard. He’s in a bad place emotionally when he sets eyes on Chase for the first time. When Chase puts the moves on him, Rhys insults him, thwarting any possibility of a relationship. Rhys doesn’t see himself as a complicated man, but he dreads the very kind of connection he desires.
Just as they’re trying to overcome their uncertainties, Chase is put in harm’s way. Luckily Rhys and their friends have all the right talents to help Rhys save the man of his dreams.
Chase is still looking for someone who will love him. Rhys is a somewhat hard, but loyal PI. When these two meet because of Jamie’s past, there is instant dislike. Seth, Jamie and Dal can’t understand what is going on. Little did they know that this was not the first encounter.
With some meddling friends, Chase comes to work for Rhys’ PI company as their IT person. Sparks fly between those two, but when Rhys’ past lover creates waves, Rhys has to work quickly to show Chase that their first encounter was a fluke – that Chase was exactly who he wanted.
Both Seth and Rhys learn that what is important is finding someone and holding on to them, love them for who they are and to leave preconceived notions out of their relationship. Love can conquer all.
When Chase’s life in in danger, Rhys will stop at nothing to protect him. Chase learns that love is worth fighting for and puts his trust in Rhys when the time counts.
This was a great story! I loved the twists and turns and despite my being fairly good at predicting things, I was completely thrown off in the “who-done-it” aspect of this story, which I loved!
