Synopsis
A bounty hunter’s partners to lovers’ story.
The hunt is on… and he’s the prey.
Bradford (Ford) King was sure he had the rest of his life mapped out. Though he was no longer a SEAL Lieutenant, his brother was home safe and he had a job that still allowed him to satisfy his hunger for hunting bad guys. Life was simple, no distractions or complications – at age forty-six – that’s all Ford wanted. What he didn’t want was his work partner, sniper/watchman, Dana, giving him s**t all the time.
Dana Cadby had grown up labeled a roughneck from the wrong side of the tracks. He’d fought, scrounged, and survived despite a father that constantly told him he couldn’t. Dana pulled himself up by his own boot straps and made a name for himself in the marksman community. He’d been Duke’s bounty watchman for five years. It was his job to ensure their safety, watch their backs. At thirty-three, he was trusted, well respected by his peers, his bosses, his friends… so why couldn’t he earn the same respect from his partner?
Dana knew he was bisexual before he graduated high school. He also knew he was attracted to the huge, 6’3”, SEAL from the moment he and his brother came to join their team. It wasn’t easy for him to tamp down his immediate reaction to Ford’s thick muscles, full beard, and dark eyes. Still, Dana exhibited nothing but professionalism towards him, not wanting to make his ‘straight’ partner uncomfortable.
After Dana took back his ex-girlfriend, he’d noticed an intensification in Ford’s bad attitude. One that turned aggressive and downright antagonistic, and Dana was damned if he’d just lay down and take it. He was gonna make that man respect him if it was the last thing he did.
When Duke sends Dana and Ford out to track down their most dangerous bounty yet, they both embrace the fact that they make one hell of a team… but they fight tooth and nail against the powerful intimacy brewing between them.
Beware: When Ford and Dana connect, no fugitive can hide from the hunter and his watchman.
This story is a part of a series but can stand alone. It does not end on a cliffhanger and has a HEA.
Disclaimer: This book is about MM romance, albeit there is a very brief MF scene.
Excerpt
Dana
Cayson shook his head, still looking at Dana’s chart, an adoring smile and soft blush creeping up his ivory cheeks. He didn’t bother to turn around, even when Quick came up behind him and put his arms around the doc’s narrow waist, Quick’s long, dark hair falling over his shoulder onto Cayson’s clipboard. “Roman, go on. Get. I’m working, here.” Cayson used his elbow to push at Quick’s chest.
It was funny to see him shove and boss Quick around when the doc was so much shorter and a lot less muscular than the huge bounty hunter towering over his back.
“Later,” Quick rumbled, not caring who heard, before he finally let Cayson go.
Dana tracked the movements of the man stalking farther into his room and around the foot of his bed, his hot, coal eyes so forceful, Dana gasped and fought not to close his eyes in fear. He not only saw but he felt everything Ford was feeling. It was all there in those damn eyes. Anguish, panic, fear, yearning… boundless love. The kind of all-consuming love that could drive you insane. And that’s exactly how Ford looked right now. Still in head to boot black on black. Those leather pants creaking with each step, making a frightening song, like the soundtrack to a horror movie as death drew nearer.
When Ford was finally standing over him, Dana held his gaze. Tried to tell him he was okay without having to speak it. He was feeling more lethargic, groggy, the medicine moving rapidly through his bloodstream now, but he couldn’t drift away. Not until he knew Ford was okay. Not until he reassured Ford that he was okay. Dana struggled to keep his eyes open. He wanted to reach out to him, but one hand was useless and the other one was wired up. He needed to touch. God, he just needed one touch.
Ford leaned down and pulled a lever on the side of Dana’s bed and lowered the guard rail. He leaned in, slowly, careful of where he touched. With both arms on either side of Dana’s head, their faces so close Dana could smell the sweat that clung to Ford’s skin, Ford turned and snarled at everyone else in the room.
“Get. Out.”
For a moment, no one moved. Then Brian walked backwards a few steps and pulled the door open, looking at everyone expectantly. Dana hadn’t even noticed Brian come in, he’d been so engrossed by Ford. When everyone was out of the room, Ford turned his attention back to Dana.
What could he say? With Ford overwhelming him like this, he had absolutely no words
