BLURB:
I’ll stop at nothing to get him back.
Sometimes what you’re waiting for has a funny way of being right in front of you for a long time. Albrecht Holleran is one of those instances. I know that his broody, moody, assholery is the mask of a man struggling. Over two years, I’ve pried that mask off and we became friends.
Nearly coinciding with the birth of my son, Brek and I began to explore something growing between us. Then he vanishes and it’s a race against time to find him before his expiration date. Everyone knows that the longer someone is missing, the chances of finding them alive lessen.
Doing what I do best, I track Brek’s movements and find that I couldn’t possibly expect a worst case scenario. I’m better behind a desk; my weapon of choice is my computer. But nothing will stop me from getting Brek back. Even if we all die in the process.

REVIEW:
In In the first part of this story, we comfortably get to know Brek and Voss, their jobs, friends, and their friendship, or maybe their situationship. And there is of course the extended family with the family matters, and family business, and who will take over Jalon’s crown.
Brek is discovering things about himself, about his orientation. He thought he knew who and what he was, but then there was Voss, and Voss made him feel different things.
Brek is broody, can be moody, and retreats into himself. Voss accepts Brek for who he is.
“Yeah. I’m aro and ace and probably pan, too. I’m practically a damn rainbow all on my own.”
Voss is expecting a baby, and the pregnant mother will carry him for Voss, she doesn’t want to be part of their lives.
At the same time, Voss and Brek get closer, and Voss is so happy about it until Brek disappears, just like that.
Where Brek ended up I can’t spoil, but my goodness, it’s bad, really bad.
The second part of this story is far from mellow, it’s a race against the clock to rescue Brek.
Oh man, I love me some high-tech in a story, the Van Dorens are doing such a great job using these facilities. The family is one front, you don’t want to get in their way, don’t ever hurt one of them. If you do, you’ll die, it’s that simple.
It is a romance, thank you very much, so we know there will be a good ending! Pffff!!
