Wars are fought on many fronts. A battle is raging across New Colorado Protectorate with both human and demonic players. Todd and Nick Ruger are sentries with an arsenal of talents and training to combat threats from a variety of enemies. Todd and Nick are given a mission to find and stop weapons smugglers by going undercover on the riverboat, Annabelle. These aren't typical arms dealers, they're demons and they're not afraid of a pair of sentries. The Rugers will have to use all their skills and their most powerful weapon, the bond between them, just to stay alive. Stopping the supply of illegal weapons turns to trying, and failing, to thwart an assassination. Todd and Nick have each other, but will they be able to keep their love intact?

Tethered Pair

Witze nodded. “Understood. I have a wagon at the depot.”


Todd chuckled and added, “You can have these horses and their gear. Other than the saddlebags, those are ours. There will be a woman, another sentry—her name is Heidi Maverick, though sometimes she goes by Heidi Larue—a day or so behind us. She specializes in demons.”


Nick led the horses to the wagon, tying them to the back. As he and Todd walked to the side of the wagon, he nudged his mate. “You didn’t warn him about Heidi or the horses.”


Todd glanced back as he climbed in. “We’ll surprise him.”


As they’d done on the boat, Todd and Nick fell into their roles. Even though they used the same names, their adopted personas were vastly different.


It wasn’t until the next afternoon that Heidi arrived at the Chancellor’s Estate. As part of Todd’s official undercover capacity, it was his job to meet and determine admittance for all guests.
