Covert

The Special Crimes Task Force (SCTF) recruits guys willing to disobey a bad order and put civilian lives ahead of their own. It is tighter than most units-when they're not protecting innocent civilians, they're protecting their pack. Gideon Chadwick recruits Joey Carlyle, who has worked his entire life to escape his mobster father. Learning fast, Joey loves his new job, and Gideon discovers the kid's company doesn't suck. Joey sees everything as predator or prey; Gideon sees every problem as having a solution. Between them, they mix instinct and reason into an increasingly volatile combination. When their passion finally erupts, it's more explosive than either of them anticipated-and in their line of work, that could be dangerous. While Joey tries to keep up with Gideon in the "think first" department, Gideon tries to remember how to think at all. Their unit's lives depend on them, and they can't let their pack down because they're tangled up in each other.

For Judson Crosby, the transfer to the elite law enforcement branch of the SCTF is a great escape from the death sentence he earned as a whistle-blowing patrol officer. Calix Garcia, the fierce new guy, makes a perfect partner, catching bad guys while minimizing collateral damage. Crosby loves working with him. Of course, he'd also love to work him over in a totally different way. Garcia has waited his whole career for a solid, dependable partner like Crosby. But after six months fighting crime together, he's done fighting their attraction. Their coming together promises to be everything they need… until a threat from Crosby's past comes back to haunt not just him, but their entire team. When Crosby goes undercover to keep them safe, Garcia is frantic with worry. One false move could get Crosby killed and Garcia exposed. But they have to fight their way clear, because hiding your lover under the cover of darkness is no way to live. Crosby and Garcia will risk everything for the chance to live their lives in the light.
