Summary
After another false lead and failure to apprehend a suspected terrorist, Chicago based FBI Agent Castiel Novak met an intriguing man in an old, dark bar in a small town in Tennessee. Dean was beautiful and charming, and Cas never stood a chance to resist him. They spent the next two days exploring each other in every way, leaving with the promise to stay in touch. What followed was a deep and abiding friendship, one they both desperately needed, kept alive with phone calls and texts and an occasional meet-up.
But fate had other ideas, shattering their relationship when a grainy photograph landed on Cas's desk. Hiding his knowledge of Dean from his partner, Cas tried to understand how the man he spent the last two years developing feelings for and sharing the most intimate details of his life with could possibly be the one he was assigned to capture. In his pursuit of the truth, his worldview would be challenged in ways he could never have imagined, and his life would be forever changed. At the forefront of it all was his relationship with Dean, the faith they had in each other, and his journey to rediscover that faith after breaking it apart with the utterance of one word - murderer.

Summary
When his best friend Mandy asks him to do her a weird favor, Ian isn't convinced he should accept. It's a ridiculous plan anyway, and things are bound to get even more complicated once he finds himself face to face with Mandy's intriguing brother, Mickey.
Excerpt:
From his blue eyes, to his full lips, to the stark contrast between pale skin and soft-looking black hair, this guy looked absolutely gorgeous. He was studying Ian closely, with an intense look that Ian couldn’t quite decipher, but that definitely took his breath away. When the guy started chewing lightly on his bottom lip, gaze still fixed on him, Ian had to remind himself he should probably avert his eyes quickly. He couldn’t give away the way that sight made him feel. He was, after all, “playing it straight” tonight. He groaned internally at the thought.Bookmarked by KINGAUSTEN
