Former Federal Agent Yuri Sorenson had left the bureau behind to become a private investigator. His ex-partner came to him asking for a favor, not knowing who else to trust. Yuri had always had a way of keeping his emotional distance from the people he protected, yet that changed the day Clarkson hesitantly limped into his life. What happens when love is confused with pain? That's the exact question Josh Clarkson had asked himself for years.
He'd grown up in an overburdened foster care system, and from what he knew of love, he couldn't expect anything but to be something tolerated. Was he meant to be more than a plaything or a piece of scenery? He could hope. Two men who know nothing but being broken find that patience and acceptance are harder than losing hope. Is the leap of faith worth the reward of letting someone else in? Maybe they'll find the strength to find out before the danger of Josh's past tries to tear them apart.
