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.

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

“I love you, too, babe,” Carson said. “I’ll be right here. When you’re ready for me later, call me up onto the stage.”


Jonas simply nodded without uttering a single word. A short while later, Tabitha invited him to come up onto the stage. Almost immediately, there were flashes of lights coming from seemingly every direction in the conference room. Jonas also noticed the curious expressions on the faces of nearly all the members of the press and the various video cameras all over the room. He took a deep breath as he prepared himself to announce his sexuality to everybody in the room. This was a big deal. Once clips of this conference were broadcast by the station, his secret would be exposed.


“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,” Jonas began once he was ready to do so. “Thank you all for coming. I’m sure you would rather be catching up on some sleep at this hour.”
