BLURB:
Dillon Carter's boyfriend, Marc Francis, is a paid assassin. That little fact
makes having a normal relationship very complicated. Especially when there are
people out there in the big bad spy world who hate Marc so much the last thing
they want is him to end up happy.
“Of course Ronin had to look like a damned supermodel: raven hair, moss-green eyes, perfect muscular body, and high cheekbones. I hated him immediately. The only redeeming thing was he seemed surprised and disgruntled to see me tagging along with Marc.
Marc smiled warmly at the other man as they bumped fists, and my heart tightened. I’d never seen him smile at anyone but me like that before. With a sinking feeling, I realized he actually liked Ronin. As a person. I hugged my body, feeling like the outsider.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you had anyone with you.” Ronin’s gaze was curious, and I noticed a faint Irish accent.
I’d have been in heaven if Marc had yelled joyfully, Yes, this is Dillon, my one true love. But Marc simply grunted. “This is Dillon.”
My cheeks warmed at the confused scan Ronin gave me. “Hello,” I mumbled.
He held out his tanned hand, and we shook. Of course his skin was smooth and firm. I’d have expected no less from Adonis.
“Julio knows who he is,” Marc said as if that statement should be sufficient. He and Ronin both studied me, and I squirmed in silence.
“Then you had to bring him.” Ronin smiled suddenly, and pretty dimples appeared. He slapped my back, and I tried not to fall sideways from the force. “Welcome.”
Better late than never, I guess.
“Thank you.”
Ronin turned his back on me and leaned in toward Marc. “I didn’t make up the guest room because I thought it was just you.” He laughed, and I imagined he probably winked. “I’ll go do that now.”
Marc cleared his throat. “We’ll both be staying in there.”
Ronin’s smile faded, and he shot me an inquisitive look. “Is that right?”
Nodding, Marc grimaced and gestured to me. “Yeah, uh… We’re together.” It was the first time I’d ever heard Marc say that out loud, and I’d have preferred he sounded happier about it. But I guess it was very awkward to announce that to your ex-lover.
Raising his brows, Ronin froze. “Oh.”
Running his hand around the back of his neck, Marc frowned. “It’s suddenly occurring to me maybe this wasn’t the best idea in the world.”
Ronin crossed his arms in front of his wide chest and sighed. “No. It’s fine.” It wasn’t lost on me that he shot me a vaguely resentful look. “I didn’t realize you were in a relationship.”
“It’s new.” Marc’s tone was brusque.
“Wow.” Ronin rested his hands on his narrow hips. “You’re a secretive bastard.”
“We can find a hotel.” Marc spoke curtly and moved toward the door.
Ronin stopped him by grabbing his elbow. “No. That’s not safe. You’re staying here.”
Marc bit his lower lip. “You sure?” His jaw was tense.
Ronin lifted one shoulder. “You never made me any promises, my friend. I’m honored you thought of me when you needed help.”
“You’re one of the few people I trust.” Marc’s voice was gruff, and his gaze locked with Ronin’s.
“Goes both ways.” Ronin grinned and put his arm around Marc, causing my stomach to churn.

S.C. Wynne started writing m/m in 2013 and did look back once. She wanted to say that because it seems everyone's bio says they never looked back and, well S.C. Wynne is all about the joke. She loves writing m/m and her characters are usually a little jaded, funny and ultimately redeemed through love.
S.C loves red wine, margaritas and Seven and Seven's. Yes, apparently S.C. Wynne is incredibly thirsty. S.C. Wynne loves the rain and should really live in Seattle but instead has landed in sunny, sunny, unbelievably sunny California.
Writing is the best profession she could have chosen because S.C. is a little bit of a control freak. To sit in her pajamas all day and pound the keys of her laptop controlling the every thought and emotion of the characters she invents is a dream come true.
If you'd like to contact S.C. Wynne she is amusing herself on Facebook at all hours of the day or you can contact her at scwynne@dslextreme.com
