Romance is the last thing on Zach Mallory's mind.

His past experience with his wife and children left him jaded. His death wiped the slate clean, giving him a second chance at life. This time around, he will correct his mistakes. He will find someone unobtrusive to settle down with when the time comes.

Zach's carefully laid plans start to blow up in his face only a few months in. Tynan stumbles into his life, and one look tells him this man is trouble. Tynan's life is anything but calm, yet Zach can't convince himself to stay away.

Tynan wanted Zach from the moment they met. He wasn't looking for a relationship, but he won't let that stop him from claiming this skittish imps as his. Now he just has to keep them both alive.

Every time things get dangerous, Zach wonders where things went wrong. He'd selected easy mode when he started over.
