Mark is done with flings. He is looking for something real, and he knows just where to find it. Years ago, he fell in love with Charlotte Elswood, but after saving her life, he made the difficult choice to stay in a cartel for the sake of his family.
Now, free of the bloodstained work, he’s ready to rekindle what he’s lost.
But in England, he meets someone who is also blond, blue-eyed, and irresistible. Problem is, Griffith Elswood is Charlotte’s brother. Should Mark even consider putting his hands all over an innocent who would push him away if he knew what kind of monster Mark is?

After years of homeschooling, Griffith wants nothing more than to finally spread his wings at university. Secretly, he dreams of meeting a man he can fall madly in love with. A man he would have all the firsts with. But it’s hard to trust anyone after witnessing his sister’s heartbreak.
When Mark moves in next door, Griffith reaches out despite his sister’s warnings. Mark is mysterious, experienced, cocky, and just oh-so-dreamy. Alternating between hot and cold, Mark’s presence sends Griffith into a frenzy of passion like he’s never known before. So hot in fact, it might just burn him if he isn’t careful.

I can not get enough of the boys. Mark and Griffith’s story was so sweet. I look at Mark as a child. We’ve watched him grow and become a man. It was so neat watching Seth and Dom’s influences in Mark. They raised him well…lol. I’m glad Mark found someone to love. They went through a ton to get there. There were def some hot moments, crazy misunderstandings, and meddling parents. Mark and Griffith deserved each other. Loved their dynamics.  I can’t wait for the next read. These ladies never disappoint!
