He also knows just the man he needs. Former Marine Barry Malone would love a second chance with Phillip-he just wishes the romance could be rekindled under better circumstances. But Phillip's stalker is escalating, and if Barry cannot solve the mystery of who wants Phillip dead and why, he might lose him for good. Barry's determined, but the investigation struggles against the wit of a crafty killer-one who is closer to Phillip than they could have realized. Luckily Barry is even closer, and he'll do whatever it takes to protect the man he's falling in love with all over again.
