I'm so excited to share this cover, I think Rhys Ethan did an amazing job encompassing the character and the story visually.

Dedication
and smarts have given Blair Cummings a leg up in the Bureau. His job is all
consuming, but rewarding. It doesn’t leave much time for a love though, not
that Blair even believes in love. At nearly thirty, he’s only ever been in one
long term relationship that ended because of his inability to commit to
anything but his job.
Born
into a family that is as successful as they are hateful, Howard Manning Tulor
Jr. ran so far away from his last name that he wound up in the arms of Satan
himself. Freedom comes at a high price but it’s one Mannie is willing to pay,
winding up on a path that leads him to a quiet, laid back FBI Agent.
The
attraction is unexpected, a possible relationship inconvenient, but they keep
circling each other, drawn together like a moth to a flame. Regardless, their
budding romance is put to the test when Mannie’s family learns he’s still alive
and someone Blair thought he could trust with his life turns out to be a wolf
in sheep’s clothing.

Taylor Langford’s world is torn apart when he is only thirteen years old—his parents killed, leaving him alone and orphaned. With no living relatives, he’d certainly be another statistic if not for the intervention of the policeman who found Taylor in the crawl space where his mother hid him that fateful night. Despite the tragedy and resulting anguish in his life, Taylor knows how lucky he is.
Frank Moore is a rookie with the Dallas Police Department when he and his partner answer a call in Devonshire, one of the city’s more affluent neighborhoods. They think the young boy in various pictures throughout the home has been kidnapped until they find him, shaken but alive. Officer Moore recognizes the pain in the kid’s eyes, having lost his own mother to cancer when he was just a boy. He steps in, making sure Taylor is placed with a loving foster family. Over the years, Frank becomes a permanent fixture in Taylor’s life.
A decade later, the case remains unsolved and the once gangly, uncertain teenager is now a college graduate who knows exactly what he wants. He’s coming home to the man that helped mold and shape his life, the man he’s loved for as long as he can remember, Frank Moore. But Taylor isn’t the only person returning to Dallas, and while Frank is distracted by his own conflicting feelings and the new bond growing between the two, the past creeps up on them, determined to finish what was started ten years earlier.
A note from the author…
I hope you enjoy Frank and Taylor’s story. It’s been a long road to get them settled, but I’m happy with where this story has taken them. When I started this book, the intent was to write a stand-alone story, but that has changed. Characters continually evolve throughout the writing process, and there are several characters in the book that want to tell their story. I’ve grown especially fond of Rory and I can’t wait to write his book, which will take us back to when he first joined the Bureau, and continue on to his happy ever after.
Please be advised: This is a May/December romance, and as in life, there are sexual situations that take place prior to the main characters finding their way to one another. This is not gratuitous; it is meant to show character growth and self-realization. There is absolutely no cheating.

Lover – A Survivor
story
Life has not always
been kind to Shannon Dupree. On the outside he’s carefree and fun loving, but
when it comes to his past he’s evasive and secretive. Running away from
emotionally bereft parents at just fifteen, Shannon escapes life with them but
steps into the waiting arms of the devil.
Rory Landers is a
rising star at the Bureau. His personal life, however, is nothing to write home
about. He hopes to take his limited relationship with Frank Moore to the next
level when they finally solve the Langford murder case, but that doesn’t turn
out as planned. On the plus side, he meets free-spirited college senior Shannon
Dupree.
Rand Davis finds
himself fortysomething and single when his partner of more than a decade is
unfaithful. Taking over the Cold Case Squad frees up some of his time, and Rand
welcomes newfound friendships within the Langford-Moore family circle. He
thinks relationships are not in the cards for him until he meets an agent with
an attitude and a vivacious blond that make him want so much more.
Past, present, pain,
and suffering collide, ushering in the possibility of a life and love worth
fighting for. Although their personalities couldn't be more different, their
three hearts beat the same. Shannon, Rory, and Rand learn the definition of
love, commitment, and strength and if they allow themselves, the trio will find
all that and more—in each other.
