If I Let You In
Loving him is easy. Trusting him could prove deadly. Do I let him into my secrets? Will he walk away?
Hollywood action hero Eric Pawlowski is desperate for a break. After two years of relentless work and crippling migraines, a small cottage by a rural lake seems like the perfect escape. But his retreat gets off to an unfortunate start when he nearly runs over a man in the parking lot of a roadside bar.
Thomas Clay is a handsome man with a drawl that pushes all of Eric’s buttons. And when his offer of easy friendship—and food—turns into lingering looks and teasing touches, Eric can’t deny the heat simmering between them. But Thomas is a mystery Eric can’t quite unravel. One minute, he’s all smirks and quiet intensity; the next, he’s shutting down, putting a barrier between the two of them.
Then, in the dead of night, Eric’s cabin goes up in flames. The cops call it arson. Has a stalker discovered Eric’s location? Does Eric have to trust Thomas with the truth about himself? But trusting Thomas means stepping into a decade-old web of secrets, revenge, and a past that’s finally come back to burn them both.
Desire pulls them together. Danger could tear them apart. Will passion survive the fire—or will they go up in flames? Dive into the heat now.
If I Let You In is a hidden past, forced proximity, romantic suspense novel. Previously published as Chance to Be King.

A superbly meaty tale that kept me hooked, struggling to stay awake last night but had to give up until morning. The drama and emotions that run between these two men is intense, and that's before the real trouble unfolds. Both men have secrets and fear the results once revealed. A wonderfully written story of love, secrets, and loneliness.

I really enjoyed this romance between two men who both had secrets. They discovered that they had found the person they could trust. Gret story and great characters. Recommend reading.
