The love of a lifetime hasn't always been easy . . . Stefano-Phoenix Commander They'd known each other for over thirty years, been together for a good portion of those years, and had lived in the same house for the past two. Still, Giovanni Rossi wouldn't tell people they were a couple. Their family and friends suspected they were together, but nothing had ever been confirmed. And frankly, Stefano hated all the secrecy. Maybe Rossi didn't want to make it official between them. Or maybe it was as simple as, Rossi wanted to live a straight life for the public. Bottom line? Stefano is tired of living in Rossi's closet. Rossi-Phoenix Chief How the hell had he gotten into this predicament? His boyfriend, who on all accounts should have been his husband years ago, had left him. And Rossi had only himself to blame. Now he had to use his elite team of operatives to find the man who held his heart. If he had to, he'd toss Stefano over his shoulder and carry him home. But what if that didn't work? Well then . . . he would have to come up with something else to convince Stefano to give him another chance. Because there's no way in hell Rossi is going to live without him. Contains mature themes.
