(2024)(The second book in the Portland Protectors-EHM Security series)
A novel by Emerson Beckett and Rheland Richmond
Is it wrong for me to want the world to know I’m in love with Patrick Griffin and have been since we were eight-years-old?
Patrick Griffin
I hurt him. I didn’t mean to.
Now he’s gone, and I deserve it.
As a linebacker in the NFL, I've never found the right time to come out of the closet. Not even when I promised Cole I would.
But now, with Cole's band, Fallen Angel, in the spotlight along with my team, the pressure is mounting. Everyone thinks we're just best friends, but the weight of my secret is tearing us apart.
And it just might be too late to save us when I can.
Cole Bradley
Is it wrong for me to want the world to know I’m in love with Patrick Griffin and have been since we were eight-years-old?

All our friends, even his teammates, have a public life. So why can’t we?
He promised it would be different in Portland.
But then he tells yet another reporter he’s single. I need a break. It’s perfect timing since our band is heading out on tour.
I don’t know if I can live without him. But I don’t think I can do forever in the closet.
It’s always been Patrick for me, but is it too much to ask for the world to know he’s mine too?
