Josh Braden and Ryan Winters are like day and night – Josh is a defense attorney, Ryan is a cop. Josh is reserved, Ryan is laid back. Josh is openly gay, Ryan is in the closet. Once they meet, however, there is an attraction that neither of them can deny. They suddenly have one thing in common – the need to be together, both in the courtroom and in the bedroom. As time passes, they realize that their relationship has become more than just hot, satisfying sex. But will love be enough to overcome their differences? Will they be able to work through them, or will it take a near tragedy to make Josh and Ryan see what is really important?

Josh and Ryan have been together for almost a year, but unresolved issues in their relationship threaten to tear them apart. Ryan, a police officer badly injured in the line of duty, is facing the end of his career. His anger and resentment cause problems between them. Josh, a successful attorney, is still upset that they can’t live together openly as a couple. When young, good-looking stripper Dax is charged with murder, Josh takes on the case pro bono. Ryan hates Dax on sight and is jealous and angry as Josh spends more and more time with his new client. When the real killer comes calling, Ryan and Josh have to work together to save more than just their fragile relationship.

After being shot by a stalker and having to quit his job as a male stripper in one of Atlanta’s most popular gay clubs, Dax thinks it may be time for a career change. When he’s offered a job in his attorney’s new law office in a small town forty miles from Atlanta, he takes it, thinking it will give him time to make some decisions about his life, and he believes he has, until he meets Hunter. Enter Hunter Weston. Rich, sophisticated and sexy as hell. Drop dead gorgeous and just the kind of man that Dax has learned to steer clear of. So why does he allow himself to hope that this could be more than a fling? And what about Hunter? What is the secret he can’t, or won’t, share with Dax?
