A Hell of a Way to Meet

Within three seconds, Luc Ronan falls in love at first sight with Zain Simon, and then he was shot twice, falling into Zain's arms. Still in the hospital many days later, Luc meets Zain, the man he remembered from his recent dreams. Zain describes how on that sunny day, Zain's sister Claudia Simon Exeter was fleeing for her life from her jealous and enraged husband Scott Exeter. By unlucky chance, Luc came between them with almost fatal consequences, and Zain reveals he has been near to him since they first locked eyes.
Feeling a sense of obligation for Luc's unintentional sacrifice, while dealing with his intense attraction to Luc, Zain persuades him to recover at his Aunt Franny's Sedona estate where their shared captivation soon becomes irresistible white-hot desire. As they discover each other, beautiful and sexy Claudia, tired of hiding from her murderous husband, leaves her self-imposed exile after a spat with her Aunt Franny, exposing herself to lethal danger.

When Claudia fails to arrive at her parent's ranch, they all realize something has gone very wrong and begin a frantic search to find her. Before long, the police locate her wrecked and abandoned car with a trail of blood leading from the scene; and now they fear the worst. Old emotional scars and wanton acts now come to light, composing the perfect storm threatening to result in murder, while time is rapidly running out for Claudia.
