Blurb:
Teen shelter volunteer Rich searches for love until Diego, from LVMPD Search and Rescue, finds him.
After declaring his love life officially dead, Rich wonders if maybe he should stick with his shifter book boyfriends instead. It’s not as if he has much free time to date anyway. Between working long hours at a coffee shop, guarding his sodas from his hygienically challenged roommates, and running the programming at the Vegas LGBTQ teen shelter he founded – how could there ever be space for love in his life?
Diego Espinoza enjoys taking his downtime from working Search and Rescue, at the Lucky Cup coffee shop. He can set up his laptop, peruse good sport climbing spots and observe the blond barista he’s been pining over for a while. He imagines that the pretty boy has more offers than he knows what to do with, so it takes Diego time to work up the nerve to approach him.
Rich isn’t so sure about the rough looking Diego – even if he’s always thought he was hot – but once he decides to gives Diego a chance, there’s an immediate heat and connection that takes him by surprise. As they learn more about each other and try to find the way to a future together, strange and scary things start to happen.
It isn’t until Rich is injured in a bizarre accident that it becomes clear that there’s someone out there who not only doesn’t want Rich to find love – they want him dead.

Excerpt:
Diego turned his attention to Rich. “Do you have a lot left to do tonight before you can leave?” He was done being subtle.
Rich’s smile turned shy. It was one of Diego’s favorite looks on him.
“No, I just have to help straighten up. But after that I –“
The distinctive ringtone of his work number sounded. “I’m sorry, Rich. Give me a sec.”
Rich nodded. “I’ll go help Austin.”
On impulse, Diego stole a quick peck on Rich’s lips. The brilliant smile he received in return had been more than worth it. As he answered his phone, he ogled Rich’s hot little ass, the light sway of his hips adding just the right touch of wiggle as Rich made his way to the other side of the room.
“Espinoza here.”
“Need you to gear up and get to the Huey as quick as possible. I’ll brief you when you arrive.”
Commander Vernon sounded unusually stressed. Diego glanced down at the bag he’d almost finished stuffing with the items he’d used for the demo. He even had the basics of his uniform already on.
“Copy that, Commander. On my way.”
He shoved his phone back into his pants pocket right as Rich bounded back to him. The moment he made eye contact with him, Rich’s smile faded.
“What’s wrong?” Rich brought his hand up to Diego’s arm as he’d spoken, as if to comfort him.
Someone who really cares about other people.
It occurred to him in that moment that endlessly explaining about his job and why it mattered to help others wouldn’t be an issue with Rich the way it’d been with previous partners.
“I’ve been called in. Looks like we’ll have to wait till tomorrow night to spend more time together after all.”
Rich nodded, not a single trace of a pout on his face. “I understand.” He furrowed his brow. “I hope it isn’t something too bad.”
Diego thanked whoever was listening that he’d finally worked up the nerve to ask Rich out. “Me too.” He hoisted his heavy gear bag off the table. “I’ll text you where to meet me for dinner tomorrow morning.”
“Um…” Rich appeared conflicted. “I know we barely know each other, but do you think you could text me when you get back from your…mission or whatever it is? Just to let me know you’re okay?”
Diego swallowed, a thickness in his throat. “Of course I could.” Diego leaned in then took another soft kiss from Rich. “Until later.”
“Yeah. Later.” Rich’s voice had been quiet, his eyes locked on Diego’s the entire time.
Beautiful green eyes for me to drown in.
It seemed like a wonderful idea.

Meet the author:
Author Morticia Knight spends most of her nights writing about men loving men forever after. If there happens to be some friendly bondage or floggings involved, she doesn’t begrudge her characters whatever their filthy little heart’s desire. Even though she’s been crafting her naughty tales for more years than she’d like to share – her adventures as a published author began in 2011. Once upon a time she was the lead singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She currently resides on the northern Oregon coast and when she’s not fantasizing about hot men she takes walks along the ocean and annoys the local Karaoke bar patrons.
