Hunting Hawk — Kenzi Bond

Officer Dexter Llewellyn is tired of being considered young and innocent. He has a police badge and martial arts training but also a baby face, soft blond hair, brown doe-eyes and pale skin. He dreams of being owned, of being so overwhelmed by another man he can't remember his own name. If only his friends would stop trying to protect him! One night he meets a man who electrifies him but who then walks away.
Fourteen years older than Dexter, this man has experienced first-hand how enticing Dexter can be, but his own history warns him that the age difference is too great, and he tells Dexter to get some life experience under his belt. Walking away is the hardest thing he will ever do, but he promises to return in two years.
“One day when you're ready I will find you. I wonder, will you still taste as sweet as you do now?”
Although Dexter spends the next two years searching for this elusive but compelling man, their reunion occurs when Dexter least expects it… and it puts both of them in a deadly face-off with a ruthless killer. Their love has made them both vulnerable but also stronger than they've ever been before.
Hunting Hawk, the third book in Kenzi Bond's North Bay Pursuits series, is a stand-alone novel, but if the characters' backstories pique your curiosity (and they will!), don't miss either Finding Steele or Catching Butterflies.
