Coming Together by Avery Ford

“I don’t need any more distraction.”

Preston Taylor is in trouble. In the ten years he’s been a star on Broadway, he’s dealt with his share of crazy. When a deranged fan starts sending death threats, Preston is forced to hire security.
What he doesn’t expect is that in order to protect himself, Preston has to pretend he’s dating his hot new bodyguard. But when make believe starts to blur with reality, the hardest part will be to remember that none of it is supposed to last.

“We’re going to pretend we’re dating. You just have to trust me.”

Jake Carpenter has spent his entire life taking care of people. Whether in the military or as a hired bodyguard, he keeps people safe. It’s his purpose in life, and he takes it seriously.
From the first time he lays eyes on Preston, he is drawn to the man’s beauty and surprised by his feelings. Jake has never felt this way for another man before. After all, he’s straight and always has been… right?

“Sometimes opposites really do attract.”

Jake isn’t looking for a friend. Preston doesn’t have time for a lover. Forced to make the best of a bad situation, the last thing they expect is to bring out the best in each other. When it comes time to make a hard decision, will they play it safe or take a chance on love?
