King
My brothers think I have a lot of secrets. They have no idea
My job is to rescue kids whove been stolen from their families. Im good at it and it helps me forget my own ugly childhood, but Im a grown man now and the family of my heart is all I need.
Except that I havent seen them in two years. I walked out of their lives without an explanation. I walked away from him without even saying goodbye. I know how much I hurt him. I know how badly I broke his trust. But even though were not related by blood, our family thinks of me as his uncle.
Yet theres no part of me that thinks of young Giovanni Covello that way. Problem is, I shouldnt be thinking about him at all, especially since my thoughts have become less and less innocent since Gio turned eighteen. Hes closing in on twenty now and theres no escaping him anymore because hes in New York, the place I rest my head. I dont trust myself around him, yet I cant stay away, not after learning about the painful nightmares and frightening memories hes experiencing about his own abduction and imprisonment as a child.
Hes the son of one of my best friends and hes had a crush on me for years. But I have to leave him alone. I just have to.
Not because I dont want Gio, but because he shouldnt want me. I cant give him what he wants, what we both want.
Not now. Not ever.
Gio
Things didnt make sense until he came along. Four years ago, he saved me from myself. Now hes trying to do it again. But I dont need saving. I need more than that. So much more
I dont remember much about the life I lived as a child after I was stolen from my family, but my doctor says I will. Apparently, the wall in my head will come crashing down one day and all the ugly memories of what had been done to me will come rushing back to me.
I havent told anyone, but its already happening. I just need to get through the computer course Im taking in New York City so I can prove to myself that I can live an independent life before returning home to Seattle.
My plan is a pretty good one, but I forgot to include one important variable.
King.
Hes supposedly my uncle but Ive never seen King that way and theres not even one drop of shared blood between us.
Two years ago, he was my protector and my friend. And then he was just gone.
Hes back now and wants back into my life, but not to resume our friendship or to act on the attraction hes finally admitted to having toward me. No, he just wants to keep me safe.
But thats a good thing, right?
What could go wrong with having the guy I cant stop thinking about living with me under my own roof?
Answer: Everything.
