Ouvrir les yeux, Black Dragons, Inc (Français)
Jadis meilleurs amis, Gunner et Chas ne se sont pas revus depuis une décennie, mais ils mettent leurs différends de côté pour sauver une petite fille de dix-huit mois – et peut-être aussi eux-mêmes.
Suite à un malencontreux accident, Gunner Vance se voit contraint de renoncer à sa carrière de Navy SEAL. Il est amer et en colère. C’est alors que son ami d’enfance et amant d’un soir réclame son aide.
Chasten Reed est enseignant, sa petite vie calme et solitaire se retrouve totalement bouleversée quand il découvre devant sa porte un cadavre et une petite fille. Pourchassé par des tueurs armés, Chas comprend vite qu’un commando serait sa meilleure chance de rester en vie.
La mission de Chas et de Gunner est simple : identifier l’enfant et la ramener saine et sauve à sa famille. Mais « simple » n’est pas synonyme de « facile » et le danger les guette à chaque étape de leur long périple à travers le pays, de la Nouvelle-Angleterre jusqu’à Hawaï. La forte attraction sexuelle qui existe entre eux ne les protégera pas des balles.
Les deux amants sauront-ils profiter de cette seconde chance que leur offre le destin ? Réussiront-ils à assouvir leur passion ou laisseront-ils leurs divergences d’opinions les séparer ?
