Jonas Knight is the President of Chestan. He's campaigning for a second term, but his life is in danger. He needs someone capable of protecting him, someone who is better trained than all of the presidential guards. He certainly doesn't imagine that someone to be Carson Brooks, his ex-boyfriend. He definitely doesn't expect to still have feelings for Carson.<br><br>Carson is newly retired from the army and the ghost team, which is a special group that is made up of the best members of the military. He's the best candidate to protect the president. He's uncertain about his reception, though. After all, he dumped Jonas eighteen years ago because he was more worried about advancing his career in the military. He doesn't think it's a good idea for him to appear in front of Jonas now. However, he still cares for Jonas. He also discovers he has lingering feelings for Jonas after all these years.<br><br>Can the two men work through their differences and find a way to get back together?

Forgiveness and Reconciliation

“Yeah. I’m sure they will be even more in love with you now. No wonder the members of the media are so obsessed with you. Most of them only have wonderful things to say about you. In fact, they were all furious on your behalf when someone shot at you at the fashion show.”


Jonas smiled at Carson. “The members of the media are just doing their jobs.”


“The ones from the conservative media don’t really like you much, though.”


“It doesn’t matter. I’m just an actor. Besides, I don’t want to discriminate between my fans and the ones who don’t like me. That’s not right.”


Carson nodded. “That’s what I like about you. You’re fair and compassionate.”


“All part and parcel of being a public figure.”


Carson snorted. “Not all people are like you. Trust me.”


“I know,” Jonas responded before winking at Carson.


Carson chortled. “Whatever. You have no shame.”
