Wilder In Love by Charlie Cochet

Even before they fell in love, Sacha “Joker” Wilder had already changed Giovanni Galanos’s world—protecting him, making him laugh, and forcing him to face a truth he’d been avoiding.
When violence erupts on the red carpet and their world is turned upside down, Gio is left reeling with guilt and fear that he could lose the man who means everything to him.
But when the danger returns, Gio discovers a strength he never knew he had, because this time, he’s the only thing standing between Sacha and the man determined to destroy everything they’ve built together.

This novella features Joker and Gio from Sleight of Hand (The Kings: Wild Cards, Book 3) and Home for the Howlidays (The Kings: A Treemendous Christmas, Book 3). In the Four Kings Security Universe, it occurs after Calling His Bluff (The Kings: Royal Flush, Book 2), following the progression of their relationship throughout the universe.
