River Kelley is smart, perceptive, almost calculating, with an alluring smile and irresistible eyes he always takes advantage of whenever needed. He knows how to play his cards and likes to feel desired, nonetheless he will never entirely open his heart and mind to anybody. The only exception is represented by his best friend Aleksandr -Sasha- Lebedev, who seems to understand him deeply. Yet, River has secrets even with Sasha, who constantly represented his only special person. Why can't he open his heart completely and admit his true feelings? What has driven him to guard himself and always use his attractive, playful smile as mask? Trusting another person can often bring pain and disappointment, and River doesn't wish to taste such bitter feelings once more. What will happen if he meets the only person capable of melting his guard and matching all he wants and needs in a partner? At first River might not be able to let go of his inner fears and ghosts, and it will take a courageous, rather controversial decision to make him open his eyes and be true to his feelings. Nicholas Lucas is very intelligent and attractive, playing his cards openly, without any secrets or regrets. With a sensitive, understanding, yet confident disposition Nic might be the only man River can completely love with all his heart; he might be the only one becoming the true special person, seeing beyond those irresistible eyes, discovering the secrets hidden there. But will it be possible for Nicholas to break the mask and wall River has built around himself? Will he be able to make the young man love him unconditionally with complete trust? It will take a strong act of love and selflessness, and Nic is ready to take the risk to conquer and keep River's heart, because he never gives up on what or whom he wants. And definitely he will never give up after having met River, for when those irresistible eyes glanced at him the first time Nic knew he wanted to see what was hidden beyond them.

Gilliam Tomlinson had had to fight for every ounce of respect he had ever managed to gain from the Texas Rangers. His late father had been less than an honorable man and it seemed that despite Gilliam's attempts to distance himself from that memory, he carried his deceased father's legacy along with him like a heavy wool cloak he never could quite shake off. Then the chance he'd been waiting for fell right into his lap. A gang led by a mysterious outlaw who had so far evaded any notice had been wreaking havoc and stealing cattle from the rich land barons of Texas and they wanted it stopped. Gilliam's job was simple: infiltrate the gang, learn about their leader, gain their trust and then bring them down. It should have been easy. It should have been a simple, cut and dry operation... but Gilliam had never imagined the gang leader would have such fiery green eyes and he'd certainly never imagined the leader would be a man named Jeb who made his body heat up and his brain shut down. What follows is a struggle unlike any Gilliam has ever known. Law, order and duty tell him what he was supposed to do but there was something about that man, something about that life, something about the way he felt among those people that just felt right. Now he faced a choice. Listen to the code of a lawman or the heart of an outlaw.
