Peruvian-Japanese pro golfer Dimas Kanashiro should have been celebrating his first major golf tournament win. Instead, the suspicious death of his boyfriend’s stepfather places Dimas’ boyfriend, Hunter Mullins, under suspicion.<br><br>Carl Mullins was a lousy stepfather and lousy human being in Dimas’ book, but Hunter always thought differently. So after beating Carl in the most important golf tournament of his life, it’s now up to Dimas to help Hunter find out how his stepfather died and, if murdered, who killed him in order to clear Hunter’s name.

Sudden Death

“So you didn’t make a move on the blonde? You didn’t try to fuck her?” Dimas asked.


“You know the answer to that one.” Dimas stroked Hunter’s strawberry blond hair. “You think the blonde’s going to say anything? About what you tried? On me?”


“No, she was out. But if she woke up, and saw anything you could deny it. I’ll deny it. And the rumor gets buried soon as another story comes out on something else. That’s the way the media works these days.”


Dimas sighed. He was tired of the charade. “I think we should stop pretending,” Dimas said. “Your stepdad knows something’s up. He glares at me like he wants to gut me.”


“My stepdad hates you because you’re better than him, and because—”


“Because what?” Hunter lay quietly, not answering, and the silence was killing Dimas.


“Because you punched him a few years ago. He never forgot it.”
