Being promoted to detective, I expected my schedule would become more chaotic. I live for adrenaline, so it was a perk that I was all for. When a large case ends up on my desk, I throw all my time at it. I finally get the break I’ve been waiting for, but it comes with a challenge of epic proportions that I’m not prepared for in the slightest. He’s a six foot something, pure muscle, and all attitude, eighteen-year-old, All-Star Quarterback who happens to still be a senior in high school. Despite my best efforts to keep things platonic and friendly, my attraction to him only grows. Xavier belongs to me. So, when his life implodes, I won’t let him fight the battle alone. He’s not the only one in a war, though. When I realize mine could touch him, all bets are off, and I do something I never thought I’d ever do. I hope I’ll survive long enough to make sure he comes out of this unscathed.

My whole life, I knew I was different. Hell, everyone did. I never came out as a gay man to my family, but I didn’t have to. They knew and didn’t accept it. And they never missed an opportunity to shove their religion in my face or tell me what a sinner I was. I took off when I was sixteen and lived on the streets of Dallas, Texas, for a while before the local chapter of Viper’s Venom took me in. Years later, after being personally appointed to the President position of my chapter by the President of the entire crew himself, I couldn’t help but think about how it was the biggest middle finger I could give my parents. The only thing I thought was worth loving was my club. They took a chance on me. I’d lay my life down for them. But then, a brown-haired, doe-eyed angel in disguise crashes into my world and burns all of my walls to the ground. Drake, despite him being twenty years my junior, quickly becomes my entire world. I can’t imagine my heart beating without him by my side. I should really know better, though. Men like me don’t have happily ever afters. So, I should have seen it coming when my darkness envelops the man who owns my soul…

When my father married Sloane, I vowed to hate her. I have a mother. Well…, had. I had a mother. A very good one who I’ll always carry with me in my heart. But that was three years ago. I was fifteen. Since then, Sloane and I have come to realize two things. The first is that my father isn’t the suave man we thought he was. The second is that I’m not the jerk that I tried to make her think I am. Ever since I opened my eyes to the truth in front of me, I’ve been the one to build her up when my father tears her down. I’ve been the one to comfort her when he causes her emotional breakdowns. I’d give her the entire world if she’d let me. When I return for a visit just after leaving for college because I miss her, I discover that my father has done something unforgivable. Every protective fiber of my being is front and center. I make a decision that will change our lives. Now, I just need to make Sloane see that her forever is with me.
