Isaac Ford seeks help from the detective who put him in prison -- now security consultant, Andrew Wen -- after an unexpected prison break weeks before his release. Despite an almost twenty-year age difference and being on opposite ends of the law, the attraction between them culminates in a one-night stand that teeters Isaac between turning himself in and returning to a life of crime. His decision is made for him when he discovers a young man waiting for him at his safe house -- the son he never knew existed.<br><br>Months later, Isaac has been reconnecting with his son, Dalton, and started a security consultancy of his own, looking for a fresh start. His past catches up to him, however, when he runs into Andrew at the police station, both seeking information on a new thief. Andrew isn’t happy Isaac left that night or that he’s been encroaching on his business, but the passion between them rekindles as trying to one-up each other turns sexual.

What’s worse is how easily Isaac and Andrew keep giving in.

Kathleen was less easily silenced. “Cradle robbing and pilfering from the boys in blue. You naughty boy.”


“It was short-lived, nothing to write home about, and doesn’t bear repeating now.”


“Calm down, Dad,” Dalton said. “I’m not trying to pry about your relationship. I want to talk about the case.”


Preferable, but normally Isaac would have shot that down too—if the case didn’t involve Dalton. “Smash and grab without injury?”


Good. If someone had been, Isaac would be far more on edge. “I’m sure Andrew and Detective Wen have it covered then. Give them a few days, case closed.”


“It might not be that easy. The thief didn’t leave any evidence, didn’t set off any alarms or get caught on camera, and they missed vital pieces to my work. Andrew and I both think they’re going to come back.”


Isaac fought to not drop the pen he’d picked up to appear nonchalant by clutching it in a death grip.


“I was running some ideas past him about how we might help.”
