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

“I don’t know how you could be so cocky about coming out. I’m scared to death that my family and friends will know, and that everything will change.” Hunter closed his eyes and pursed his lips.


“Everything will change. Just think of the weight and pressure that goes away by being honest.”


“I don’t know,” Hunter said, his voice in almost defeated resignation. “My whole world…everything I know. Maybe I’m just not as strong as you.”


Dimas kissed Hunter again. “My family knew before I left Lima to go to FSU that I was gay. They were cool with it. I guess if either my Mom or Dad didn’t like it, then it’d be different. Our teammates in college didn’t care.”


“Well, we were a close circle of friends. It’s different now. And if I came out, what would I do for a living? I couldn’t caddy anymore. Who wants to hire a gay caddy?”


“What do you mean? You’d keep working for Carl.”
