Take the Fall (Apartment 402 #2)

He ran from one kiss. He can’t run from what it made him feel.

Ryan Carlson never let himself want a man. He’d never been wanted by one either… until Luke Hawley, the cold, dangerous detective Toronto calls the Bear and his new partner.

One kiss at the end of the worst year of his life, and the certainty Ryan built himself on cracked straight down the middle. He doesn’t have a problem with what it means.

He just has no map for it, no name for it, and no idea who he is on the other side of it. And a career in freefall is no place to go looking.

Luke gives him the time he asks for, quiet and patient, the way no one has ever waited or cared for Ryan before They don’t have forever.

Someone with money and reach is dismantling Ryan’s life one careful piece at a time, and the trail leads back toward the one place he swore he’d never go again: home.
