For The Love of a Friend: Dante and Apollo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781705821725)

"Apollo smiled, though it was marred by the sadness twisting through his chest. Dante would never want to admit it, but he cared deeply for people, even as he hid it behind layer after layer of foul attitude and an even fouler mouth. It was only around Apollo that Dante cast the worst of it aside, but even then, there was a divide between Apollo and the inner Dante. That wall kept Apollo at bay, always careful of what he would say or do, unsure if he should tread too far. He craved to see beyond that wall, to see the things Dante ferreted away from the light of day."

It's been weeks since tumultuous events led Dante and Apollo into the depths of the jungle. And the two men suddenly have time on their hands.

Life hasn't been kind to Apollo. He lost his parents at a young age, and his twin sister the year before. All he has left are his packmates and his best friend, Dante. He's done his best to hide his secret yearning for his best friend but Apollo struggles to keep himself in check as he watches Dante drift away from him.

Dante can't even think about what might exist between him and Apollo. Terrified of what a relationship between them would mean. Dante desperately hides from the passion of his heart, risking his own misery and that of the only man he's ever loved.

When the two men are thrown together on a special assignment, a threat to their lives is like a thunderbolt to their hearts and brings everything to a boil. Struggling to come to terms with their emotions, their pasts, and what the future holds, Apollo and Dante have no choice but to try to make peace with one another if they're ever going to find happiness. But can they succeed?
