Oliver Lincoln is a twenty-something bookstore owner with a problem. When he runs into his ex at a market, a knight in shining armor steps in to protect him from the unwanted attention. Exchanging numbers, Oliver doesn't expect his new firefighter friend to want to spend more time with him-or to get to know him at all. With self-worth issues, and confidence beaten down by a relationship he would much rather forget, this new relationship will take work and effort he doesn't think he has. Eddie Rodriguez has what his friend likes to call a white knight complex. When he helps someone he meets in a market, who is being harassed, he isn't prepared for Oliver Lincoln-or the ex who just won't leave him alone. Though their romance blossoms into something they both think might be permanent, Doug Portman, Oliver's ex, begins a campaign of terror that promises retribution on Eddie, Oliver and the love they both hold dear. With their friends struggling to hold everything together and Oliver making a mistake that threatens their relationship and future, can their love overcome the obstacles?Or will Doug's machinations end with something far more sinister than just a breakup?Please Note: This book contains adult language and steamy adult activities, it is intended for 18+ Adults Only.
