Running Scared

Bailey Dodge is an overworked ER doctor with a needy cat and no life until FBI Agent Dean Royal seduces him in the hospital where he works and then leaves him, sure the whole interlude was a one-time thing. Dean has other plans, showing up at Bailey's door again, and again, and again.... Dean is ready to keep seducing Bailey into accepting his presence, at least until Bailey forces a small reckoning, and surprise! Baring his soul as well as his body to Bailey is as easy as breathing. Who knew? Then Bailey witnesses a murder in the hospital, and suddenly Dean is forced to do more than tell Bailey about his job and family. He's forced to let Bailey see the reality of an agent's life and hope their bond is strong enough for Bailey to trust that Dean will come back--every time. But Bailey has lost a lover to the greater good before, and he no longer trusts in fate to take care of his heart. Still, the Royal family is a force stronger than fate, and when Dean goes missing tracking down the hit men on Bailey's tail, Bailey turns to them to help bring the middle Royal home.
