A novel by

 
 
Braden “Joystick” Muniz should have found his happily-ever-after two years ago, if only one stubborn, in denial chief of police would wake up and see what’s staring him right in the face. Everyone knows the chief is gay, but will the stubborn man admit it? No. Which leads JS to believe something is very wrong in Cal’s past. The Navy SEAL has tried to work his good-natured magic to move himself closer to the man of his dreams, but Cal is a slippery one. He makes sure they are never alone. Now, however, Cal lets jealousy—an emotion he never admits to—trick him into a “buddies” road-trip. If Joystick has his way, this is the last time he’ll be relegated to the “friend zone”.

Calhoun “Cal” Jeekins is the Police Chief in the small town of Pleinfield, a position he looked forward to holding even when active in Marine Corp Intelligence. Keeping his secret from the military was easy. Keeping it quiet in his small town? Not so much. For two years he’s been avoiding the one man who could derail all his subterfuge. Joystick. Just saying the man’s name is trouble. Why, oh why has Cal let himself be goaded into accompanying him on a drive out-of-state? He knows there’s no way this can end well.

Joystick and Cal are not only out for a drive, they are embarking on a long day of avoidance and innuendo. Soon, however, they unexpectedly find themselves in desperate trouble when they come across a man, murdered, on the side of the road. Can they work together to extricate themselves from their perilous position, or will the chasm of sexual tension that lies between them, spell both their dooms?
