Gator (Fire Lake #6)

World weary, yet everybody's confidant, Gator doesn't expect to find an everlasting love, especially with the man who he's been hiding from murderous whackos. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED In a life full of twists and turns, Gator never looked for or expected to find "the one." Actually, he wasn't sure he believed there was such a thing. After years of being a bar owner and hearing too many sad tales of love gone wrong, he knew he had no patience for the ups and downs of a long-term committed relationship. Though, he had no trouble lending a helping hand to a person in need. Which is how Jason wound up living in the apartment over Gator's bar. Now there's a guy who needs to disappear for a while. When trouble finds him anyway, Jason's life is on the line, and somehow Gator becomes the man he never thought he'd be: a life-long partner.
