Working for the Bennett brothers gave Nige purpose, and a way to hide behind screens and technology, avoiding that pesky ‘people’ problem that he’d rather avoid. As the few people in his life started pairing off, or whatever the hell the Bennetts were with Cass, he felt loneliness closing in, like never before. Being on the wrong side of the law had never been a problem for him, because the lines between good and bad, right and wrong… well, they were just lines, and they could be crossed, without harming others. It was all just business, right? Ted was new to town, new to Nige’s neighbourhood, and literally crashed into his life without warning. Running from a past that he hoped wouldn’t find him again, Ted never planned to get close to anyone, but something about Nige had him hooked. Was it safe to trust another man, and maybe even find happiness this time? Could he even convince this overly cautious, but charmingly inexperienced man to give him a chance? Nige’s traumatic past had left him scarred, and fighting severe anxiety, while Ted’s led him to hide in an unknown town, with a new name, keeping secrets he hoped would never be revealed. Falling for each other should have been easy, if not for them being on opposing sides of that line, the one between good and bad, right and wrong, lawful and criminal. Can love overcome all obstacles, or will the many things standing in their way make it impossible? Can Ted accept Nige’s choices, and can they survive when Ted’s past comes calling? And beyond all of that, how will the Bennetts react when their relationship puts the entire Bennett empire at risk, and alliances begin to fracture? Will Nige have to choose between his love and his life? Will Ted even survive when his identity becomes known, and two worlds collide?
