Roman “Quick” Webb is one badass bounty hunter on the crime-filled streets of Atlanta. He’s fearless when it comes to carrying out his dangerous job alongside his longtime best friend and business partner, Duke. However, there is one thing that has begun to cause Quick concern and it’s the dreadful thought of living out the rest of his life alone. Seeing his best friend and his son fall in love and sharing the special connection that only true soulmates can, has made him all the more aware of what’s lacking in his life. 

Love. 

Dr. Cayson Chauncey has been wildly attracted to the big, tattooed hunter for almost a year, ever since he performed the surgery that saved Quick’s best friend’s life. Cayson must’ve mistaken Quick’s gratitude for something more, because the one time he tried to make his desires known, he was harshly rebuffed and left on the man’s doorstep feeling stupid for hitting on an obviously very straight man. 

Cayson never dated a man who was willing to come out of hiding and be with him. Now at almost forty, Cayson is intent on no longer being anyone’s dirty secret. Having experienced countless disappointments, and having taken a stand not to fall for any more tricks, Cayson is more than a little skeptical when Quick comes around asking for a second chance to prove himself. The gorgeous man had already made it clear he was definitely uninterested in Cayson… or so he’d thought. 

Dr. Chauncey stirred up Quick’s suppressed, most carnal desires from a place deep down inside of him. He’d reacted so badly the first time that now his sexy surgeon wanted nothing to do with him. It was going to take a fair amount of patience and a whole lot of wooing involved as Quick sets out to convince Cayson that he’s worth another chance and that he is the brave lover who Cayson has been looking for. 

With a scorned ex and a very dangerous job thrown into the mix, Cayson’s happiness and all of Quick’s promises may not be as easy to keep as they’d hoped. 

PARTS ONE AND TWO IN THIS SERIES CAN BOTH BE READ AS STANDALONES. THERE ARE NO CLIFFHANGERS IN EITHER BOOKS.

Excerpt:

“Stop knocking on my damn door like that!” Quick shouted

from the second landing. He was trying to navigate the short

distance between him and the front door, but was moving slowly.

Using his leaf blower in the yard earlier today probably wasn’t a

great idea, but he’d never been one to sit around and wallow in

pain. He came from a long line of tough men. His father worked

their farm through every ailment he ever got, so did his

grandfather. Surely, Quick could do the same.

When he unlocked the bolt, he twisted the knob and was

almost knocked back off his feet when he saw Dr. Chauncey –

um, Cayson – standing there on his porch with his large medical

bag at his feet. He had on a puffy, mid-thigh, black North Face

parka with the large hood trimmed with tawny brown fur. He

looked adorable all bundled up and rosy cheeked from the brisk

temperature.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to knock like I’m the police. I got a

little worried when it took a while. I came... um... Duke told

me... he said maybe I should come by. Totally his idea. I promise

I’m not just swinging by. As a matter of fact, I think it’s rather

rude to stop by unannounced, but Duke said—”

“Cayson, would you like to come in and get out of the cold

for a bit?” Quick smiled, pulling the door open wider. The man

was blabbering like a silly fool. But Quick new exactly why

Cayson was nervous about coming into his home again. He’d

make sure the man felt welcome this time.

He wasn’t typically an asshole, especially to nice doctors

who saved his best friend’s life, but damn if Cayson didn’t catch

him off guard that afternoon he’d come home to find the sexy

doctor in his personal space. He was supposed to be there to

check up on Duke and Vaughan’s recovery, but Cayson was

examining everything but his patients when Quick had come in

wearing his bounty hunting gear. Those focused, blue eyes

brazenly surveyed him like he was a piece of USDA prime rib in

a butcher’s window. He could see Cayson’s chest rise and fall

with his elevated, lustful breathing. But to do it right in front of

his son and Duke, that wasn’t cool. He was a private man. If the

doctor was interested in him, then he should’ve approached

Quick privately and asked him out like a real man, not used

trickery.

He’d been attracted to men in the past – very deep past – but

he’d married a woman and had dated a couple more after the

divorce. Now, this handsome, sexy, slightly nerdy in a charming

way surgeon was rapidly igniting embers that hadn’t burned in a

long time, and Quick had handled it badly, scaring Cayson off.

He’d promised Duke and Vaughan that he’d fix it. He’d call the

doctor and apologize, make things right, but he hadn’t. He’d

copped out. Nerves. Anxiety. Maybe even fear had gripped and

held him fast.

“Actually, I wouldn’t mind coming in. Thank you.” Cayson

took a breath between ramblings and hefted his large bag to step

across the threshold.

Quick immediately noticed Cayson scanning his chest as he

walked by, but he didn’t take offense this time. The man was a

doctor and Quick was riddled with bruises. It was clear Cayson

had been sent by his son or Duke to check him out. “I already

know why you’re here. Thank you for coming.”
