Paradox: A M/M Sci-Fi Romance
Puzzle-loving, enigma-obsessed, and mystery-driven freelance Xeno-archeologist Nicholas Wells relishes voyages to lost worlds in his quest for artifacts. His expeditions aboard his SmartShip, Maisie, with his faithful canine companion, Rotor, not only offer him thrilling intellectual challenges but also unforeseen perils.
After one dicey incident with a rockslide, his benefactor, Patrick Dupont, insists Nicholas needs a bodyguard. Threatening to withdraw financial support, Patrick reminds Nicholas that a deceased archeologist gains neither personal acclaim nor brings glory to his patron.
Nicholas grudgingly agrees and drafts an exhaustive list of qualifications for his potential bodyguard, which he believes would be unattainable. However, life throws him a curveball.
Nailing every criterion on his list, Decker Reid of Merx Security steps in. With cybernetic modifications, unmatched defensive skills, and a dedicated mission to shield Nicholas from his reckless adventures, Decker proves to be a worthy bodyguard.
Although Nicholas reacts with consternation, Decker is unabashed—his main focus the safety of this intrepid scientist. Regardless of how intent Nicholas is on charting his own path, Decker is close behind, at the ready to swoop in and rescue him.
Because protecting Nicholas has become more than a job for Decker…now it's personal.
