An IED ended Declan Hunter's career as a Navy SEAL. Now, he's fighting to establish a personal security business, Red Cell. When his very first client ends up dead, Dec is determined to learn the truth and clear his reputation. The only thing getting in his way is a stubborn cop with a chip on his shoulder and the unexpected power to reawaken Dec's sexual desire. Sergeant Ryan Jakes, a South Boston boy made good, has caught the kind of high-profile case that can either advance his career or end it. He hates private security people who get in his way, but his first encounter with Dec pushes entirely different buttons. As Dec's and Ryan's paths cross, neither can ignore the attraction growing between them. The stakes are high, and with failure always an option, their need for each other is greater than they realize.
