Calvin, a cute ER nurse has caught Atlas's eye, but can an older semi-retired killer woo a man with his own dark past? A little murder, a little romance, and two men that fall into danger together. 


From the blurb:

Sometimes love is worth the danger.

Atlas

The sins of my past have chased me all my life, and now they’re colliding with the one thing I want the most. Calvin is perfect. From the moment I saw him, I felt drawn to him—to his light, his smile, his warmth.

We both have secrets, and deadly people are working together to keep us apart as those secrets come to light. I’m willing to do anything to protect the one thing I want to be mine… whatever it takes.

Calvin

I’ve lived a quiet life the past few years. With my past, quiet suits me just fine. Then Atlas blows into my life like a whirlwind, making me think I can have something more. That I don’t have to live without feeling.

When my past rears its ugly head and my secrets are exposed, I know I have to protect Atlas from the fallout. I just hope we come out the other side unscathed.

SNik's review:

Second in series (Always), but can be read as a standalone. Age gap. Found family. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

There’s something about Calvin, the nurse he meets in the ER, that has Atlas thinking about dating for the first time in years. But Atlas is a semi-retired contract killer, and Calvin has his own secrets, and the danger increases as they get closer. 

What starts out as a sweet, slightly obsessed desire to date Calvin, brings Atlas an entirely fierce man in his own right that wants to protect Atlas just as equally. I absolutely loved that Atlas is honest with Calvin before either man gets in too deep; it was unexpected, and allowed us to see that Calvin is a different kind of man that can wholly accept Atlas’s darker side. There is plenty of steam, no hesitation of Atlas’s family welcoming Calvin, and a story where two men fall quickly and deeply for someone that they find a special kind of connection with. If you can accept morally grey killers and murder as a love language, then this couple, and family, will provide an entertaining read.
