Church is a British ex SAS with PTSD. After everything he has been through his life was as good as it was going to get. He had his found family and a job he loved, working with men he respected. A job is assigned to him is nothing new but protecting a rockstar going through addiction recovery….this was going to be a massive headache. Church’s assumption about who Dante is and what he would be like didn’t match the man in front of him. Although struggling to recover from a soul destroying addiction Dante is strong, smart, funny… Church finds himself smiling, relaxing, allowing all the tension he carries around ebb away. At 6”7 no one dared make demands of Church except Dante isn’t just anyone and intimidated he is not. Finding love while fighting to protect Dante against an unhinged stalker is not a situation that Church thought he would ever find himself in but he is not about to let anyone harm or take away his love, not when he’s just found Dante.

Dante is a rock star on a downward spiral. Coming from being dirt poor to rich beyond his wildest dreams was an adjustment that he could never make sense of, downing in alcohol, dr*gs and esc*rts is all he knew, if you he’s going to be a rock star he will live up to the cliché….. but Dante’s life was no longer fulfilling his coping mechanisms were killing him slowly. A ultimatum is given get clean or get fired, this leads to a cabin in the woods and very gorgeous, but very stoic bodyguard. Dante wants to unravel this conundrum of a man, so strong, so controlled, so lonely so….. submissive, so perfect for Dante. But how could they build stable relationship when they lead very different lives, all Dante knows is he is not about to let his man go. 

God I loved this book so much… the dynamics were unexpected and switch in power is delicious. Taking you outside of the norm of what size dictates. It was everything I needed for Church’s story yet everything I didn’t expect! I love when a book can suck you in and not let go until you’ve read it completely.
