Stiles has moved to the United States after being blackmailed for being a gay man in England. He never loses himself but rather reinvents himself. On the boat he forms a wonderful friendship with Lizzie and soon these two become the best of friends. Stiles eventually moves to St. Louis and becomes a Pinkerton Man. He has to go undercover for his first assignment to a brothel that caters to M\/M. While investigating he gets attached to one of the gentlemen at the club. He ends up having one of the hottest nights of his life. Things take a turn for the worse. His \u201cfriend\u201d ends up murdered. He takes this incredibly hard but has to move on. The silver lining is that Lizzie ends up popping back into his life. These two go on the road undercover together to solve another mystery. In true Stiles fashion, he ends up playing while working and grows rather fond of the foreman. Things really go crazy when Lizzie is kidnapped. Stiles could never live with himself if something happened to her. This is a rollercoaster of a story. I don\u2019t normally read M\/M books but the actual story is what keeps me going. I look forward to continuing their journey!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amzn-author-media-prod\/rc2thjmgjll8mlsl5s2da3chm1._SX450_.jpg?resize=167%2C252&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"C.
