Synopsis
After three years, Snow and Jude’s relationship is still passionate and strong. They’re getting ready for a romantic vacation at home when Jude receives a horrifying call no one wants to receive. His youngest brother was found barely clinging to life. While Jude’s family is rallying around Jordan, Jude is determined to find out what happened to him.
Snow and Jude follow the clues, investigating a side of Jordan’s life none of them knew about…and is far darker than any would have believed possible. They get pulled deeper into the seedy side of life, while echoes from a past Snow thought he walked away from return to offer an unexpected insight into the cause of Jordan’s injuries.
But someone else has noticed their involvement and is furious, putting them both in danger. The risk is high but so is Jude’s determination to find the truth—though the knowledge could very well fracture his heart.
Trigger Warning: This book has a scene that some might find triggering, but the triggers are also spoilers to the plot, so they can be found at the front of the book.
Hot water pounded down on Jude Torres’s shoulders. He turned into the stream, letting it pour over his face as he thought about how he planned to spend the next week with the enigmatic Dr. Ashton Frost—or as he was better known to his friends, Snow. If Jude had his way, it would be mostly in bed.
They both had vacation time, and it had been far too long since they’d gotten in anything other than quickies with their crazy schedules.
Just the thought of more time in bed with his boyfriend had his blood pumping as hot as the water.
Normally, dual vacations meant a trip somewhere, but after surviving the hustle and bustle of the holiday season just a few weeks ago, they’d both decided on quality time at home together. The last month especially had been hard with so many out sick with the flu and Jude picking up extra shifts.
So, seven days of just the two of them, cooking and being together, sounded like heaven on Earth. God, he couldn’t wait to drag Snow into their bed and keep him there. Three years hadn’t dampened the explosive heat they had between them, and he couldn’t see any amount of time doing that.
He wanted the man with a ferocity that still awed him.
The stall door opened, and he grinned, wiping the water off his face. “You got home earlier than you thought you would. How was little Daciana Vallois?”
Snow stepped into the shower, his naked body the best thing Jude had seen all day. “Perfect, as you can probably imagine. How could a child of Lucas and Andrei’s be anything but?”
“I wish I could have joined you. My last call of the day ran longer than I’d expected. I’m dying to see her.”
“She’s gorgeous. Tiny and precious. Andrei’s genes are strong—that baby has his dark, brown eyes already.”
“Poor Lucas. He doesn’t stand a chance.”
Crystal blue eyes bored into his and he could see a question, one he was very familiar with, in Snow’s gaze. They’d discussed having children, and though Jude knew a part of him would always long for them, he knew how Snow felt. Snow didn’t want kids. The idea terrified him. And Snow came first for Jude. Always would. But those doubts he saw in Snow’s eyes bothered him.
He tugged him closer under the water, loving the slide of taut muscles against him. Snow had a long, muscular body that drove him crazy, especially when it was wet. “Ready for our vacation?”
