Despite the curve balls thrown at him throughout his childhood, Barrett Kenner is now a successful musician. The only thing missing is romance. Ivan Romanov killed a man to save his sister’s life. Although he’s served his time, Ivan’s past left him with baggage far heavier than the meager belongings he carries out of prison. Barrett clings to the memory of a fervent kiss, a kiss Ivan tries to pretend meant nothing. When the two men finally accept their feelings for each other, life should be smooth sailing, but the past still lurks in the shadows. Can Barrett and Ivan protect their love and their lives, or will dangers from long ago be more than they can withstand? Barrett & Ivan is a May/December, friends-to-lovers, second chance romance. This book was originally published in 2016 under the same title. The story, blurb, and cover have been revised and updated.
