Chain Reaction

Five men, one love story. None of them knew how many pieces they were missing until they all slotted into place. Jericho thinks his life is complete, and that he doesn't need anyone else. Quinn is sure he can never get back what he's lost. Will wants to be a piece of someone's heart, the hero of their story. Peyton fights his nightmares alone, struggling against the tide, his own dark thoughts an anchor. Sebastian's hardened heart keeps him from letting anyone else in, too afraid to be hurt again. Now real happiness, together, is within their grasp. Everything might be perfect if it weren't for the man who wants all of their heads and won't stop until he has them. It will take everything the five men have to reach for their happily ever after. When the worst happens and their precarious foundation crumbles around them, is the love they weren't prepared for going to be enough to keep them together . . . and alive? Contains mature themes.

Jericho Rowlands spent most of his life living under different names, doing the dirty work required to keep Sydney safe. His time as Warren Boiler had put him on a collision course with Sebastian-the lawyer who kept him out of jail-and also brings him into contact with the three men who are such an important part of Sebastian's life. Jericho is only supposed to be keeping Sebastian alive; that's easier said than done when chemistry like he's never felt before flares between him and all four men. Quinn, Peyton, Will, and Sebastian have the weight of history and mistakes and missed opportunities between all of them, making an already-complicated situation harder. None of them can deny the magnetic pull holding them together as they try to muddle through what their new normal will look like. Jericho isn't supposed to be part of it, but they can't ignore their instant connection. The past has led them to where they are, but the threats of the present could end any chance for a future together. Sebastian and "Warren's" names are on a list, and everyone else on it is dying one by one. Quinn is racing against the clock, trying to figure out who's gunning for them from the shadows. Quinn and Will are standing on one side of the law, Peyton and Jericho hold the other, but even that might not be enough to keep Sebastian out of the crosshairs. Contains mature themes.

Detective Quinn Hughes doesn't have many regrets in life, but Sebastian Devlin is the biggest. As a cop and a defense lawyer, the deck was stacked against them to start with, but Quinn was the one who left a burning inferno behind him. Missing his chance with ex-Special Forces Commando Peyton Sinclair is a close second on his regrets list, but Quinn isn't going to ruin the happiness Peyton has found with fellow police officer Will McMahon for anything-not even a chance at his own happiness. Best friends Will McMahon and Peyton Sinclair have been hooking up for years, content with their arrangement and the comfort they get from it. When Sebastian-the hot lawyer they picked up at the club the night before-stumbles over a dead body in their kitchen on his way out, calling Quinn is instinctive for them. Years of unacknowledged tension between Peyton and Quinn is a sore point, but Peyton trusts that Quinn will figure out the mess they've landed in. They're hoping Quinn can move fast-before one of them becomes the next dead body. If they can survive long enough to get some answers, maybe the four of them together are going to be the catalyst for a future that's more wildly different than anything they'd ever imagined. Contains mature themes.
