Hostile Ground

Witt (Finding Master Right) and Voinov (Gold Digger) team up for an intensely thrilling romance. Seattle cop Mahir Hussain goes deep undercover to bring down a crime ring at a nightclub, and he quickly finds himself deep into something else: a dangerous, passionate affair with David Ridley, the club’s head of security and the man responsible for ferreting out snitches and narcs. The two men have an increasingly sultry series of encounters, both in and out of the office, though Mahir knows that David has killed other undercover cops. When Mahir’s young nephew accidentally gets involved in the case, Mahir has to find a way to bring down the bad guys fast—and has to decide how far he can trust David. The sincere familial affection between Mahir and his nephew lends a delightful depth to a thoroughly sexy tale. (May)
