Tom Cooper's life was changed with one swift act of brutality. It's been months and he still can't forget that night, still lives in fear...especially fear of intimacy. So when a big, beautiful construction worker expresses interest, Tom freezes with every touch. How can the same man inspire both lust and terror? His hungry looks seem both dangerous and delicious?

Darwin Bloom is a man without a life, an identity, even a real name. But he might have found a home in Tom. Living on the lam isn't exactly conducive to relationships, but Darwin wants Tom too much to stay away. He'll soothe his damaged lover with soft caresses, with patience, with his hard body—until the best sex of their lives in interrupted by agents from Darwin's mysterious past.

But that's okay. There's something wickedly naughty about love on the run.
