Lover (A Survivor Story) 

Rory Landers is a rising star within the Bureau. His personal life, however, is nothing to write home about. His hope to take his limited relationship with Frank Moore to the next level when they finally solved the Langford murder case didn't turn out as planned. On the plus side, he met the vivacious, free spirited college senior, Shannon Dupree.

Shannon Dupree lives by the motto, I'm a lover not a fighter. Carefree, fun loving and loyal to his friends, but when it comes to his past, he's evasive and secretive. When he's behind closed doors, alone in the dark, the ghosts of the past haunt him. So Shannon prefers to spend his evenings with nameless, faceless hook-ups. Everything changed when he met Taylor Langford. Seeing the love Taylor and Frank have makes Shannon want the same, but who could love him when they learn about the skeletons in his closet?

Rand Davis is married to his job as a Senior Detective with the Dallas PD. Taking over the Cold Case Squad frees up some of his time and Rand finds himself welcoming his new found friendships within the Langford, Moore family circle. For the first time in decades, he finds himself wanting to actually be in a relationship. The problem is, there are two contenders for the role.

Past, present, pain and suffering collide, ushering in the possibility of a life and love worth fighting for. These three personalities couldn't be more different, but, their three hearts are about to learn the definition of love, commitment and strength.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Taylor Langford’s world is torn apart when he is only thirteen years old—his parents killed, leaving him alone and orphaned. With no living relatives, he’d certainly be another statistic if not for the intervention of the policeman who found Taylor in the crawl space where his mother hid him that fateful night. Despite the tragedy and resulting anguish in his life, Taylor knows how lucky he is.

Frank Moore is a rookie with the Dallas Police Department when he and his partner answer a call in Devonshire, one of the city’s more affluent neighborhoods. They think the young boy in various pictures throughout the home has been kidnapped until they find him, shaken but alive. Officer Moore recognizes the pain in the kid’s eyes, having lost his own mother to cancer when he was just a boy. He steps in, making sure Taylor is placed with a loving foster family. Over the years, Frank becomes a permanent fixture in Taylor’s life. 

A decade later, the case remains unsolved and the once gangly, uncertain teenager is now a college graduate who knows exactly what he wants. He’s coming home to the man that helped mold and shape his life, the man he’s loved for as long as he can remember, Frank Moore. But Taylor isn’t the only person returning to Dallas, and while Frank is distracted by his own conflicting feelings and the new bond growing between the two, the past creeps up on them, determined to finish what was started ten years earlier. 

A note from the author…

I hope you enjoy Frank and Taylor’s story. It’s been a long road to get them settled, but I’m happy with where this story has taken them. When I started this book, the intent was to write a stand-alone story, but that has changed. Characters continually evolve throughout the writing process, and there are several characters in the book that want to tell their story. I’ve grown especially fond of Rory and I can’t wait to write his book, which will take us back to when he first joined the Bureau, and continue on to his happy ever after. 

Please be advised: This is a May/December romance, and as in life, there are sexual situations that take place prior to the main characters finding their way to one another. This is not gratuitous; it is meant to show character growth and self-realization. There is absolutely no cheating.
