Prologue

When we first met twenty-three years ago, I had hated him.

“You look like Pippi Longstocking!” That was the very first thing he’d said to me. He’d flashed me a boyish grin as he pointed to the pigtails my mom had braided for me that morning when we said goodbye.

I’d stuck my tongue out at him in protest as I followed Aunt Betty and Uncle Tom into their house—my new home. I had known instantly that I wouldn’t like this boy. He was mean, he was a bully, and he sure wasn’t going to be a friend of mine.

Well at least that was what I had thought that day when I moved in with Aunt Betty and her husband. But, like so many other things I’d thought throughout my life, I was wrong. Somehow, against my resistance, he’d chipped away at my stone-cold seven-year-old exterior and won me over within a matter of weeks. I’d discovered that he wasn’t mean after all. He wasn’t a bully either. In fact, somehow, without even knowing how it’d happened, he had become my friend—and not just any old friend—he had become my best friend. My confidant. My constant. My anchor.

We’d been inseparable as we grew up together, spending hours in his treehouse, talking and laughing until Aunt Betty would call me into the house for bed every night.

And even in my darkest hour—when I felt the most lost and alone, when I purposely drove everyone, including him, away—he had been there, by my side, to comfort me. He had been my rock and had refused to be ignored or pushed away. That was the day we had made our pact: If we were still single by the time we were thirty, we'd marry each other.

I had known even then just how lucky I had been to have him in my life. I had loved him the way best friends loved each other. But it wasn’t until I had lost him that I had realized just how much I’d love him—how much my love for him went beyond friendship.

But by then it was too late. I had screwed up. I had ruined everything. I had done something that was unforgivable. And a part of me wondered if I had enjoyed it.

Now, twenty-three years after we’d first met, we were both thirty and single, but I knew that it was now he who hated me.

Who's excited to read this?

A cute but mostly stupid short story that is not worth the price they are asking for it.Would be worth 99 cents of it goes on sale.

0.5 stars. Meh m/m romance about an editor of erotic romance attending his first conference when a gorgeous cover model catches his eye. The story was implausible and the writing poor; this was painful to read.

Lover Under Cover starts with a slap, literally. Quisto (cop) our hero and Chance's partner and best friend is slapped by a woman called Caitlin who accuses him of leading a 14 year old child to his death.

Quisto is the youngest of 8 kids, and his parents fled from Cuba. He's a player but he is an honest one, he never made any promises and was always up-front about what he could give. He believes that his job is too dangerous for a woman and he is determined not to put someone through what his mother had to do(after his father left to fight a cause). Trinity West is an area filled with gangs and violence and it was only due to his mother's determination that Quisto never ended up just as a statistic. Quisto loves his family and his various nephews and nieces but it determined to be alone, even though the changes in his partner's life have him yearning for more. He has seen so much bad in his life as a cop that he doesn't believe in miracles. In short he is a complete opposite to Caitlin.

Caitlin runs a club of sorts for kids in one of the toughest areas in town. She is determined to make kids see that they can lead a different life or offer them respite atleast for a few hours. She is a teacher and even though people write her off as a naive fool, who trusts people easily, she is determined in her cause. So, when Eddie one of the kids she believed would make it is murdered she runs right upto Quisto who she believes is partly responsible. Though she is quickly dis-abused of that fact when she sees Quisto's reaction, she is determined to bring justice to Eddie even when people write him off as another kid.
It was good to see Caitlin and Quisto clashing. Quisto was concerned about her and the risks she was taking in order to find out what happened to Eddie and even in running a Neutral Zone. He even gets some proof to show to Caitlin that not all kids are innocent and Caitlin says she is aware of that but she doesn't want to judge and then seeing how all of this makes her cry Quisto just melts.
Caitlin wasn't naive and yes twice when she runs into a situation she shouldn't have I felt like smacking her but her heart was in the right place.
I enjoyed the book and seeing Quisto fall for Caitlin. The relationship is very subtly done.
