My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Brandon Hoselton is a brilliant but emotionally guarded man who uses logic and code to navigate a chaotic world. When his family is threatened, he’s forced to accept help from Sanctuary—a covert organization that assigns Daniel Karnes, a battle-scarred former Navy SEAL, to protect him. Daniel expects a routine mission, but Brandon’s courage, vulnerability, and hidden depths quickly unravel his defenses. As they work together to dismantle a dangerous criminal empire, their bond intensifies—but Brandon’s secrets could jeopardize everything. In a world of violence, betrayal, and buried truths, Daniel must decide if love is worth the risk… especially when the greatest danger may lie in the truths they refuse to face.
I loved this story which was a compelling blend of emotional vulnerability, high-stakes danger, and the slow unraveling of trust. I enjoyed that Brandon relies on numbers, code, and structure to make sense of a chaotic world whereas Daniel, shaped by physicality and instinct, operates from emotion and experience. Their dynamic explored how intellect and feeling can clash—and ultimately complement each other. I was also interested in how Brandon’s hidden truths threatened not just the mission, but their lives. The weight of secrecy could both protect but also endanger, and how silence can be both a shield and a prison. I loved the thought about what are we willing to risk to keep others safe, and what happens when the truth finally breaks through? Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
