No Boundaries — S.E. Jakes

When your past closes in, running isn't always an option…

Phoenix, Inc., Book 1

The jobs Marcus Lowry works for at Phoenix, Inc. Investigations are quick and easy, and they don't give him the nightmares his days as a CIA operative did. That is, until he gets involved in a case that grabs him by the throat and won't let go.

Cole Jacobs left behind his old life as a rent boy to make a name for himself rebuilding high-end and vintage cars and bikes. But when a stalker threatens to kill him -- and to hurt anyone who stands in his way -- his past closes in on him, and he's not sure where to turn.

The last thing Marcus wants to do is take on a charity case, and to say that he and Cole don't see eye to eye at first is putting things mildly. But when the first attempt on Cole's life nearly kills them both, Marcus realizes that Cole is in real danger, and Cole is forced to reveal everything. Almost everything. Because Cole's deepest secrets could destroy them both.

Warning: Contains a secretive mechanic with a talent for spotting a diamond beneath a beat-up exterior; a hard-nosed investigator who isn't so rusty he doesn't recognize instant attraction when it hits him in the gut; and hot sex spiced with trust issues and danger.
