“Stubborn ass.” Jude smiled behind the kiss he planted on Rowan’s lips. He turned Rowan around and scooped him up from behind, spooning them. He made sure Rowan’s bad shoulder was arranged comfortably while Jude tried to balance his oversized body on the outside edge of the couch. He’d wait until the post-coital nap wore off, then try to put Rowan to bed again.
“Is me being a stubborn ass going to be a problem?” Rowan murmured sleepily, snuggling into Jude’s body.
“Hasn’t been so far.” Jude nuzzled another kiss into the back of Rowan’s fragrant neck.
“I want this to work. Us.”
Jude heard the anxiety in Rowan’s voice. “I do, too, Ro.” He tightened his arms around Rowan. “Let’s take it one day at a time, okay?”
“That sounds good,” came the thick answer, followed by a soft snore.
Jude smiled against Rowan’s hair. He intended to have Rowan Muir in his life for as many days as he could.

Double Down - coming soon!
After surviving a deadly attack by a psychopathic killer, homicide detective Rowan Muir is ready to take his relationship with ex-sheriff and former ex-boyfriend Jude Anderson to the next level. Trouble is, Jude is happy with going slow. As in glacial. And, fair enough, their previous attempt as a couple wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. It took murder and the volcanic attraction between them for both men to put old grievances aside and try once more.
But the past rears its ugly head again when Rowan’s drug-addicted stepbrother goes missing. Rowan is summoned home and is immediately mired in family dysfunction better seen in a rear-view mirror. When Jude agrees to help Rowan investigate his stepbrother’s disappearance, Rowan fears his fragile relationship with Jude won’t survive the stress.
Being back in his hometown dredges up old fears, a lot of baggage, and murder. Soon Rowan has to decide if he is going to double down on his relationship with Jude, or if it’s wiser to pick up his chips and split for good.
