Heart of Stone - Heart's Desire, #1

Convinced a clean break was the only way to protect the man he loved, Micah Hayden shut down, closed himself off, and spent more than a decade running from his mistakes. Twelve miserable years later, he's come home to take his rightful place as Alpha, and if he has his say in the matter, reclaim the love that was stolen from him. When Micah kicked him out and crushed his heart, August Tucker didn't think he'd ever heal from the loss.
Slowly, though, he rebuilt his life-a life far away from the painful memories of the past. So, when he learns Micah is back in town and wants to see him, August knows he should refuse, because even a brief reunion could destroy the walls he's built around his heart. Unfortunately, he may not have a choice. Someone wants him dead, someone willing to go to any lengths to succeed. With his list of allies growing thin, he has no choice but to turn to his old love for help. But can Micah put aside his own uncertainties to be the hero August needs? Or will history be repeated when ghosts of the past resurface, determined to finish what was put into motion all those years ago?
