A Border Crossing Novel
A night at the movies in Albuquerque turns deadly when Brantley's best friend, Matt, is shot right in front him during a robbery. Devastated, Brant tries to help Matt's husband, Travis, deal with all the details, even as he struggles with survivor guilt and grief. When Travis's best friend arrives, Brant finds himself both annoyed and grateful, knowing he needs help, but hating to admit it.
Former cop Lex Espana is ashamed to admit he hasn't seen his childhood best friend Travis since the man's wedding. He's even more amazed that he barely remembers Brant from that time, because the sparks are sure flying now. It might be weird to fall for someone at such a tough time, Lex's feelings for Brant are real, and make him realize there's more to life than work.
Lex and Brant have a lot to deal with, from living in different towns to not knowing how to be part of an 'us', and they'll have to overcome all that and more to have the kind of love they know they deserve.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Profound loss and a lust for Mexican food fuel this touching contemporary from Tortuga (Stetsons and Stakeouts). Brant Dime, a pediatric nurse, and Matt Isham, his best friend, are held up while buying gas; the mugger shoots Matt dead, panics, and flees before Brant can react. Matt's grief-stricken husband, Travis, calls his childhood friend, police officer Lex Espana, to come to Albuquerque and help him through the tragedy. Once there, Lex quickly connects with Brant, offering comfort to both men. When a grief-stricken Travis turns on Brant, Lex leaps to Brant's defense. After the funeral, Lex goes to Brant's house to check up on him, and somewhere between the pizza and the beer, sparks begin to fly. There's a wonderful domesticity to Lex and Brant's relationship, thanks to their mutual appreciation of food and Lex's lovefest with Brant's beast of a cat. Brant's painful injuries from his years of military service give their relationship a vulnerability that is sure to touch the most jaded of hearts.
