Xander
If I had to describe Sean Bailey, it would be: a surly, temperamental pain in my ass. Never in that equation would I ever include the word boyfriend—and not just because he’s straight.
The older brother of my life-long best friend, Sean is a detective for the Chicago PD, and is also known as Detective “Dick” for being…well, a surly, temperamental pain in everyone’s ass. He also happens to be the best they have, which is why I find myself on his doorstep the night my life is threatened by an anonymous stalker.
I only wanted the name of a bodyguard; I didn’t expect for Sean to volunteer for the job. Now, not only do I have a bodyguard, I also have a fake boyfriend.
Sean
It must be so hard to be Alexander Thorne, the number one prime-time news anchor in the country, with millions of dollars and a car that costs more than my house. I mean, I’m allowed to give him a hard time about it, but when some creep decides to cross the line and go after him, they’re gonna have to answer to me.
Going undercover has never been an issue in the past, so I don’t see why there’d be a problem now. Xander and I have known each other for years, so this should be a breeze. Except suddenly my stomach’s flipping when he looks my way, and my body comes alive whenever he brushes by me. I know I’m good at my job and playing a character and all, but this is getting out of hand.
I can’t be sure that either of us are playing anymore.

Alexander is the hottest news broadcaster in the Chicago area, if not the entire country. He seems to have attracted the attention of a nut job and now he is in desperate need of a bodyguard by morning.
Sean is Xanders best friends older brother. He sees no other option but to offer himself up as Xanders bodyguard. The stalker is upping their game and things are getting even more dangerous. Things between Xander and Sean also seem to be getting more dangerous as each man starts to feel a pull towards the other that has NEVER been there in all of the years they have known one another.
I was thrilled when when this one ended on a cliffhanger. Maybe that is because the series is complete and I was immediately able to dive in to book 2. A whole lot of it is because I love these 2 men and I’m excited to see what happens next for them.
