Dave Johnson is closing up his bar in the early hours of the morning when he rescues a young Goth who identifies himself only as Kyle. When Dave realizes Kyle has nowhere to go, he offers to let the young man stay at his place.<br><br>Kyle is sexy and surrounded by mystery, and rather tight-lipped about it all. But he soon worms his way into Dave's life and heart. Yet dark secrets have a way of coming out at the most inopportune times, and Kyle's past life may catch up to the men sooner than either of them expected.

Beyond the Norm

Just as he had any other night, Kyle prepared for bed by brushing his teeth and pulling his pajama bottoms out of the drawer Dax had given him to use. He had just reached into the drawer when the bedroom door flew open.


Dax closed the door quickly and turned the cheap lock. His dark hair stood on end, and his eyes were wild with fear. “Corazón, you must leave now.”


Dax hurried to the window and flung it open. He stuck his head out and peered first left then right. “Out this window now, Kyle.”


Dax grabbed his shoulders and pushed him toward the window. “I do not have much time to explain. I am an undercover agent with the DEA. My cover has been blown, and they are coming to kill me.”


“You’re what?” His heart thundered.


Dax shook his head. “I should never have involved you, but I could not resist. When they kill me, they will kill you after. You need to go. Now.”
