Sequel to "Partners" Rider has secretly been in love with his partner, Nicco, for years. When he finds out Nicco feels the same way, Rider is euphoric. But Nicco is having trouble accepting he’s in love with a man. Rider wants to take their relationship to the next level, but his partner vacillates between hot desire and cool indecision. A visit to Nicco’s family for the holidays only makes things worse; Nicco’s father is homophobic, his mother wants grandchildren, and an unexpected guest makes Nicco jealous. Back home, the two men must make a decision between pursuing their romantic relationship and saving their partnership.

This book was previously published by JMS books as two separate novellas. Since then, the author received the rights back, re-edited and made some changes. Both stories are included in this edition. Partners in the LAPD and best friends in their off time, Nicco and Rider are extremely close. That's why Nicco's shocked when he sees Rider kissing another man when he'd always been under the impression Rider was straight. The feelings of intense jealousy Nicco experiences in that moment are even more confusing to the tough New Yorker, and he can't keep himself from confronting Rider about what he saw. What he realizes about himself turns his world upside down.
