Hotspot

By Lia Cooper

M/M soulmate romance, formerly released as "The Source and the Wire"

All it takes is a touch...

Sometimes you meet a person and it's the wrong moment, the wrong city...Sometimes it takes years for both of you to be ready to fall in love...

Simon Cowen's life is as neatly tailored as his bespoke suits, everything and everyone in a particular place. Just because a person works on the shadier side of legality, doesn't mean they have to be uncivilized. It's this control that has made Simon good at his job.

His parents were soulmates, but Simon decided a long time ago that he had no desire to ever be so weak to another person. Weakness didn't fit into his neatly framed life. He certainly had no interest in falling in love with the sloppy, flirtatious Luc Allard. Or at least, that's what he told himself.

When an accident on a con job causes Simon to bond to Luc, he must relearn what it means to put his life in someone else's hands.

More soulbonding, more exotic locations, and more about two men learning how to be in love.

This story contains explicit M/M content.
