Never Say Never — Nicole Edwards

Ryan Trexler has devoted his entire life to his family's security business. And now that he's slated to take over the reins for the company, RT knows that his life is only going to get more complicated. Add in the fact that he's lusting over one of the men who works for him and RT knows that there are some serious tough times ahead.

Zachariah Tavoularis -- nicknamed Z -- has been employed by Sniper 1 Security for a decade. Despite being known as the most loyal enforcer outside of family, Z also has a reputation of being quite the playboy, though that was based more on rumor than fact. When an assignment comes up that forces the two of them to work together, Z knows it's time to show RT he's not the man he thinks he is.

Can they complete the mission, despite the fact that it puts them in a tenuous situation, bringing them closer than either of them ever expected? And will Z allow RT to convince him that they can never be together, no matter how much they both want it?
