Excerpt
“Oh, I see. I should have guessed you would have
found the biggest, dumbest fisherman to take care of you.”
“Did you just call me a fisherman?” Joel growled.
“Are you deaf as well as stupid?”
“Joel, please, leave it.”
But Joel wasn’t listening. “Nah, you don’t come
here to my town, with your Earth bullshit, and call me no fisherman.” Joel
stepped forward. He was bigger than Mason, but Mason was dangerous and cunning.
Of Sean’s two brothers, Mason was the one who had
caused the most trouble. He was as vicious as his father. Even faced with a man
like Joel ready to knock him down, he wasn’t afraid. He wasn’t anything but
amused. Sean realized Mason wanted to be punched, but he was too late to stop
Joel.
The blow came quick. Mason staggered back, but
Joel grabbed him, smashing his forehead into Mason’s nose. They broke apart,
both bloody. Joel thrust his knee into the other man’s gut. Mason hit the
ground, laughing. Sean seized the opportunity. He grabbed Joel, pulling him
back.
“Stop!”
There were voices nearby.
“We have to go,” Sean insisted.
Finally Joel saw reason. He nodded and together
they ran, leaving Mason sputtering blood in the alley.

Under the leader ship of the infuriating, yet charismatic, Captain Joel Riley, Sean settles into his simple, but dangerous, new life. It’s a life he soon comes to love; albeit one in which he conceals his sexuality and avoids intimacy.

With Joel’s help, will Sean learn to come to terms with his past and become a man he can be proud of?
