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. Neither plan to let anything more come of their tryst until Andrew finds out about Dalton, who he knew in college, and a theft at Dalton’s job forces Isaac and Andrew to work together.<br><br>Dalton playing matchmaker complicates things. What’s worse is how easily Isaac and Andrew keep giving in.

Public Enemy, Undercover Lover

“It’s still unfortunate,” Isaac said, eyeing Andrew coldly, and then turning his ice to Dalton, “especially when someonekeeps showing up where he doesn’t belong.”


“Don’t start that again either,” Dalton groaned, continuing the rest of the way inside to take off his shoes and coat, leaving Andrew looking nervous and fidgety as he gestured Isaac across the threshold too.


Isaac did so but didn’t soften his stare.


“Olivia is the worst,” Andrew tried again, pointing to the coatrack for them to hang their things, which already had several jackets. “I wish I’d realized that two years ago.”


“Still have the same bad taste as college?” Dalton teased. “Present company excluded.”


Isaac was not in the mood, but the comment made Andrew rub his neck again.


“Look who’s talking?” he threw back. “Riley?”


“We haven’t even gone out! And what’s so bad about Riley?”
