It was just sex. Nothing more. At least, that's what they told themselves.
Quinn lives a double life. Small town deputy by day, prolific romance writer by night. Well, not so prolific anymore. With hellish memories of a near-death experience still haunting him, Quinn is facing some serious writer's block. To make matters worse, he's been put on leave from police duty, until he can work through his trauma. But when Jared Tonkin, a former fellow deputy-and the secret inspiration behind all of Quinn's romance novels-shows up on his doorstep in desperate need of help, Quinn can't refuse.
Freshly divorced and ousted from his family and career, Jared is full of conspiracies and rage. He's desperate to prove that there's more going on in Aspen Brook than any of them realize. So, they strike a deal. If Quinn helps Jared investigate, Jared will help Quinn get his writing mojo back, by any means necessary. Including acting out all of the wild fantasies that have only ever existed on the pages of Quinn's novels.
It's just sex, nothing more. Jared has a family, after all. But it doesn't take long for both men to become addicted, and soon they're in too deep to keep pretending it's all a game.
Life rarely ever plays out the way it does in Quinn's books, though, and when a war comes to town, this author of Aspen must catch the real villains dead to writes, before they destroy his chance at happily ever after.
