James Trevalyan came from a long line of men who served the British Crown with their gift of a voice with compelling power, and kept that tradition going while he loved and lived with Jeremy Waters. When Jeremy died in his arms, James resolved to live without love. His family keeps him connected to life -- Jamie, his son from his brief marriage to an American, and Pamela, his beloved little sister, caught in a loveless marriage to a cold, cruel man.<br><br>Then Tanner comes into his life, a clever and handsome agent who joins him in an ongoing undercover mission. How long will it take James to realize he and Tanner are meant for each other? And can Tanner survive the assignment that’s thrown him in with mobsters who want him dead simply because he knows too much?

Greater Love Hath No Man

“Ah, James.” That smile lit his face. He switched the recorder off. “I wasn’t expecting you just yet. Ready to debrief, ochi verzi?”


My cock hardened, as it did whenever he called me “green eyes” in Russian. He had the most atrocious accent, but what mattered to me was that it was he calling me that. “I always enjoy your…debrief, Jeremy.”


He grinned and gestured to the seat opposite his desk. I closed the door, sat down, and propped my feet up on the corner of the desk, careful not to knock any files to the floor.


I was giving him the last of the details when an interoffice telephone buzzed. Since it was the one on Jeremy’s desk, he answered it.


“Waters.” He listened, his face growing blank, and then handed the phone to me. “It’s Father.”


“Trevalyan, I’m glad I caught you before the two of you left for the day. Don’t get too comfortable. I’ll need you to head out first thing in the morning. Things are heating up in Syria. Your tickets will be waiting at Heathrow.”
