Publisher Description
John Griffin and Michael South – agents in the renegade counterterrorism agency Last Line, and closer than brothers. It’s a fast-lane life of danger and excitement. John loves every minute of it, but he’s facing one big problem now: his feelings for Mike have flared up from friendship into a passion he can no longer hide. And
Mike, although the bravest and best of partners, doesn’t feel the same.
Their one sexual encounter leaves them baffled and alienated from one another. Mike is a haunted man, shaken by flashbacks to his past life as an MI5 agent and a mission in Russia that went terribly wrong. He’s been left with a need for violence between the sheets, and John isn’t prepared to hurt him.
Not everyone has Mike’s best interests at heart. Their ruthless boss hires a ghost from Mike’s past to help track down a Russian war criminal who’s planted a nuclear device in the heart of London. Anzhel Mattvei knows all of Mike’s dark secrets, and soon regains his former sexual thraldom over him, leaving Mike locked in battle for his will and his soul.
Anzhel has turned Mike into a human detonation device. Only John’s love can pull him back from the brink – and save the millions of lives in the fallout zone.

Dark
We first meet Mike after he was sent on an undercover operation, when his cover was blown and he became a prisoner, tortured but determined to survive. Survive he did, but something in him was broken.
Now, three years later, he and John, his partner, work for Webb and Last Line, an organisation so hidden, they are the spook’s spooks.
The story is a dark one, and what happened to Mike is heartbreaking especially because he himself doesn’t realise the extent of the damage done to him when he was held captive. John has always loved Mike and John has to be the strong one to bring Mike back to a normality where they can both freely love.
For all the heart stopping danger around them, this is also a story of a deep and emotional love, of acceptance and forgiveness and in the mix, something mysterious that defies logic, questions that have no answers yet.
I so enjoyed this story - it had everything, an intelligent story, a strong love bond, good world-building and a worrisome younger brother.
