Jason is successful, confident, and unlovable. Living in the heart of Soho with his found family brothers, he masks his trauma with more sass than you can throw glitter at. After love burned him once, he vowed never to let it happen again. One night, one time, no attachments. That’s how he survives and protects his heart.

Patrick knows loss too well. His husband’s sudden death shattered his world, and he believes he’ll never feel that kind of connection again. Then Jason storms into his life. A pint-sized spitfire with haunted eyes. Fifteen years younger than him, a boy who he shouldn’t want but can’t resist. Patrick’s daddy instincts are to hold, to heal, to care, but Jason refuses to be saved. Their undeniable attraction spans a year of push and pull, as all of Jason’s brothers find their happy endings around him, leaving him with the possibility of being alone, as he has been all his life. When Jason gives into his desire for Patrick, his past mistakes come back to bite him. His ex-husband, a ruthless mob boss, wants him back. And he doesn’t care who gets hurt in the process.

In the explosive final chapter of the Soho Knights series, all the questions will finally be answered. Will everyone’s baby brother, Jason, finally get the happily ever after he truly deserves, or will it come at the price of another devastating loss?

“How did I not about know this place?” said Jason, in awe. “I’ve worked in the city for two years.” “Technically, we’re not in the city.” It was true. The City of London was a square mile, and one of its boundaries was the River Thames. They were on the south side now, which had some great places to eat and drink. It was Patrick’s preferred location to socialise after work, rather than in the hub of all the office buildings. Just by walking over a bridge it felt like you were in a different city. This coffee shop had been here for the twenty years Patrick had worked in the area. It was a family-run business, and the moment he walked through the door they started making his order. Maria, who owned the place with her husband, raised an eyebrow and gave a smirk when she saw Jason. To be fair, they looked an odd pair. Jason was short, blond, and full of energy. Patrick resembled a younger Father Christmas. He kept in good shape, but had become softer around the middle since George died. He had the beard with flecks of grey in it, and his hair had more salt than pepper these days. Patrick looked older than he was, and Jason looked younger. He wasn’t surprised Maria had given them one of her looks. They took a seat in the corner. Patrick rarely sat down in here. He would often grab his coffee to go, even if he had to walk all the way down here from the office, which involved him passing at least two of every chain on the way. Living this close to Maria’s, he was going to become even more of a caffeine fiend than he was now. He wondered whether, if Jason liked the coffee, he’d come here as well. That would give them more opportunities to bump into each other. “What’s got you all worked up, then, Jason?” “You don’t mess about, do you?” he replied with a smile. “I can tell something’s wrong.” “Is that because you’re a daddy?” he said, his voice a whisper. Jason using that word and fluttering his eyelashes gave Patrick an instant semi. The little fucker knew just what he was doing. “Do you know what it means to have a daddy?” “I’d like to find out. Would you be willing to show me, Daddy?” Patrick needed to stop this, or he’d be doing something inappropriate and getting banned from his favourite coffee shop. “It’s not a one-night thing, Jason.” Patrick was careful not to call him boy because if Jason reacted positively to that, Patrick’s restraint would snap. “Is that what you’re looking for? Another relationship?”
