LAYING LOW

Anthony McCauley has always been easy to love. Kind, confident, and raised by parents who never let him doubt his worth, hes certain he can win over the shy, intriguing Reg Royal.
Instead, Reg assumes Anthony is flirting with his beloved little brother.
Reg has spent his life trying to stay invisible. Convinced that someone as bright as Anthony couldnt possibly want him, he keeps his distance—until Anthonys persistence finally begins to draw him out of his shell.
Then everything goes sideways.
Forced on the run with two teenagers hunted by ruthless criminals and a corrupt government agency, Anthony and Reg have no choice but to rely on each other. Anthony discovers the strength beneath Regs quiet exterior, while Reg learns that Anthonys optimism is matched by unwavering loyalty. As danger closes in, friendship deepens into something impossible to ignore.
Protecting two kids may be the hardest thing theyve ever done. But trusting that they deserve each other might be even harder.
Laying Low delivers slow burn, forced proximity, and a found-family road trip where two men falling in love have to out-hack a cartel, a mob boss, and their own government to keep two teenage runaways alive. Perfect for readers who take their opposites-attract pining tender and their on-the-run suspense breathless.
