Eight months
after the car crash that changed everything, FBI agent Aidan Talley is back at
work. New department, new case and a new partner. Smart, athletic and handsome,
Jameson Walker is twelve years his junior. Even if Aidan was ready to move
on—and he's not—Jamie is off-limits.
Jamie's
lusted after Aidan for three years, and the chance to work with San Francisco's
top agent directly is too good to pass up. Aidan is prickly—to put it
mildly—but a growing cyber threat soon proves Jamie's skills invaluable.
Jamie's talents paint a target on his
back, and Aidan is determined to protect him. But with hack after hack
threatening a high-security bio-containment facility, time is running out to
thwart a deadly terrorist attack. They'll have to filter out distractions, on
the case and in their partnership, to identify the real enemy, solve the case
and save thousands of lives, including their own.

There was a scraping sound and when
next Walker spoke, he was closer, his hot breath coasting across Aidan’s neck.
“Why don’t you show me some of these dance moves?”
Aidan whipped his head around, bringing them nose-to-nose. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I’m serious.” Walker grinned, the temptation and levity in his bright blue eyes chasing away the sorrow of the day, of the past eight months. “Impress me,” he said, using Aidan’s own words against him.
“Whiskey,” he warned, low and tight, fighting his instincts.
“Come on, it’s just us here.”
Glancing over his shoulder, Aidan confirmed the other couple was gone, Roy was nowhere to be seen, and the only two waiters left sat folding napkins in the private room.
Walker, standing between their stools, inched closer and laid his hand over Aidan’s again. “Dance with me, Talley.”
Hooked, the offered comfort reeled Aidan in. Tugging his hand, Walker pulled him off the stool and into his arms. As they swayed gently to the music, it wasn’t dancing with Isabella Aidan remembered but dancing with Gabe after their wedding. Held in Walker’s arms, knowing what he did now about his partner’s orientation, Aidan allowed himself to notice the physical similarities between Walker and his husband. Both accomplished athletes, they were bigger and stronger than him, larger in height and mass. He liked being surrounded in a bigger man’s warmth. He also liked dominating that when he had a mind to. And Walker was one hell of a specimen.
Relaxing into the embrace, Aidan coasted the hand not in Walker’s up his cut biceps, over his broad shoulder, and around to his back where rock-hard delts stood out beneath the rough chambray. Closing the inches between them, he pressed his chest to Walker’s and bit back a moan at finding the front of him as warm and firm as the back.
Walker dipped his chin, his stubbled jaw nuzzling Aidan’s temple. “Something tells me this isn’t how you danced with Isabella.”
“No, it’s not.” He breathed deep, fighting not to melt into his partner’s embrace. Everything about the moment enticed him to bury his face in Walker’s neck and let go—that deep molasses voice, the tempting cologne, a warm embrace after months of cold loneliness.
