In Too Deep (Tenebrae Cove Series Book 2)

Fraser Gorman has spent years perfecting the art of safe, unrequited longing. For Fray, keeping his feelings at a distance is a survival tactic—a way to experience love without the vulnerability of ever being rejected. But that carefully managed life begins to fracture the moment the man he has coveted for so long starts closing the gap, pulling at threads Fray thought were safely tucked away. Tobin Tiller knows all about building walls. Burdened by a history of brokenness, he has mastered the act of pushing people away before they ever get the chance to leave him. Yet, when the undeniable pull of a fated bond becomes impossible to ignore, Tobin finds his defenses crumbling. Terrified of rejection, he fights his natural instincts, convinced that keeping his distance is the only way to stay whole. As an ancient threat looms over Tenebrae Cove, fate refuses to let them play by their own rules. The impending danger forces a reckoning that neither man can escape. In a town where secrets are surfacing and the stakes have never been higher, Fray and Tobin must decide if they are brave enough to stop running and finally surrender to the truth of their connection.
