About the book

Hollywood thinks Julian Cross has no fear. Gabe Navarro knows exactly where he hides it.

Julian Cross is one of Hollywood’s most profitable action stars. He is also seven years into pretending the only man he ever loved never existed.

When a threat at a black-tie awards gala turns violent, Julian’s insurer brings in an independent executive-protection team. Its lead threat specialist is Gabriel Navarro—the former bodyguard Julian kissed in hotel corridors, promised a future, and then abandoned without explanation.

Gabe wants the contract, the answers he was denied, and nothing else.

Then the threats begin referencing a stunt performer who died on Julian’s breakthrough film and a studio cover-up Julian helped keep buried. Forced into a secure residence together, Julian and Gabe discover that someone wants Julian to confess while someone else is determined to make sure he never gets the chance.

The attraction survived seven years. Trust may not survive what Julian chose to hide.

To stay alive and rebuild anything between them, Julian has to stop letting the studio, the public, and fear dictate who he is allowed to love.
