Hard Target by Kelly Fox

Everett: There are a ton of reasons why falling for my tiny, adorkable best friend is a terrible idea-starting with the body in my trunk.

I have other reasons-he still mourns his late husband, I'm way older, he's a foot shorter, my tattoo shop is a front, he's an assistant professor at UT.

Still, I can't help but think we'd be perfect for each other if I didn't kill people (very, very bad people) for a living.

Rafi: How the f*ck did I not realize how hot my best friend is? Yeah, grief, or whatever, but were my eyes not working?

Silver fox, check. Tattooed hotness, check. Cuddles with me on Monday nights while we watch Australian melodramas, check. Says he's not a good person but totally is, check.

New goal: Get Everett to stop looking at me like a grieving widower and start seeing me as someone he'd like to pin against the wall.

Now if I only knew what was behind the door marked Portal to Nowhere...

Hard Target is a mercenary MM romance set in Austin and the Texas Hill Country. It features tattooed hotties, adorably complicated twinks, best friend antics, an illegally confiscated vineyard, and a team of killer do-gooders.

This is the first book in the Guardians Series. Several characters from Wrecked, my series about a gym for combat vets, crossover into these books. While you can enjoy the slightly more nefarious Guardians without reading Wrecked, you may end up wanting all the juicy backstories.
