    About this ebook

    Jon is the man of his dreams, but can he prevent those dreams from becoming a nightmare?

    Every night, Xander Craig has the same dream. He's in the shower with a gorgeous stranger, who is shot by a mystery assassin and dies in Xander's arms. Xander believes this dream is tied to his guilt over failing to prevent the death of his husband, Gary, but his latest assignment as a top-level bodyguard causes him to reassess that belief. He's charged with looking after wealthy and successful entrepreneur, Jon Kovacs, who's being stalked by an obsessive, dangerous ex-boyfriend. As soon as Xander sees Jon's photo, he knows this is the man in his dream.

    Xander escorts Jon to a remote safe house on the cliffs, as a police manhunt for Jon's ex, Cody, takes place. He and Jon start to fall for each other. Xander knows he's crossing a line, but he can't help acting on that attraction. While he and Jon are sharing intimate moments, is Xander's dream about to become violent reality?
