Blurb/Synopsis:
A Carlisle Deputies Novel
Undercover sheriff’s deputy Evan Whittaker
is close to infiltrating a vicious local gang. He just needs to find an
opening. Instead, he finds Wes Douglas, a web designer who is raising his
irresponsible brother’s son. Wes agrees to help with a stakeout, but he pays
the price when his home is destroyed in a shootout.
Evan’s always been a loner, but when he
invites Wes into his home, living together feels right, and the two men only
grow closer as they adapt to each other’s lives and rhythms. A future as a
family looks brighter by the day, but all of that could collapse when Wes’s
brother—and his connection to the drug dealers—crashes into the life they’re
carefully building.

Excerpt:
“Yeah, but you need a diaper because you forgot to bring extras, right?” Evan winked. “I have a few in my trunk.” He slid out of the booth. “I’ll be right back.” He jogged out of the restaurant, and Wes was beginning to wonder what the heck this ruse was about. Evan was a decent guy, and Wes had seen his badge so he knew he was a real cop and not some guy trying to run a scam on him or something.
Greyson gnawed on his cookie and fussed, squirming in the high chair until Evan got back. Then he grinned and played keep-away with his cookie again, smiling each time Evan reached for it so he could pull it away.
Wes nearly swallowed his teeth when Evan handed him a diaper. “Okay, you have these in your trunk. Why? In case you arrest a baby for poop-and-run?”
Evan actually smiled at his joke. “No. I have a box of general things in the back, and a few diapers are in there. One of my friends works for children’s services, and he has a list of things that he wants us to carry so we can be prepared whenever we encounter children. There’s a stuffed bear in there and a small blanket.” He shrugged. “You never know.”
“Did you get the info you needed?” Wes asked as Evan began to eat, seemingly much more at ease than he had been.
“Yup.”
Wes ate his salad. He loved the ranch dressing they had here, and when he was done, Nadine cleared the dishes and brought his sandwich and some more dressing for the fries. He handed one of them to Greyson, who gummed it happily, grinning and sometimes waving his fry around.
“Does he always do that?”
Wes shrugged. “He isn’t really hungry, but he needs something to do, so a fry or two will keep him happy. And hopefully he won’t start fussing until it’s nearly time for us to go.” There were always limits to the amount of time he was capable of sitting relatively quietly. “I’d ask you about your work, but I don’t know if you want to talk about it.” It seemed strange with how cagey Evan was being.
