Trey is an elementary school teacher that is being taken into protective custody by the FBI for helping to break up a child pornography ring. He has more problems than just having the bad guys out to get him, he has worked hard at denying that he is gay, to himself and everyone around him, but that may not be possible anymore.

Tenino is the sheriff’s deputy who is assigned to take Trey into protective custody. Openly gay, he knows from the moment that he sees Trey that he won’t have a hard time protecting his body from the ones after him. No, the problem will be protecting Trey’s body from himself.

The third book in the fabulous Thunderbird Chosen series, this one does not disappoint. Filled with the mystique that surrounds Tenino and his tribe, the sexual tension between Trey and Tenino, and the fear of discovery by Trey’s enemies this is one edge of the seat read. The struggles that Trey has faced throughout his life by denying his true self make for a heart rending story. The understanding that Tenino feels for Trey and his situation, and his efforts to bring Trey into acceptance of his true self are touching and highly erotic. When the sex scenes hit they hit hard and strong, all elements combined make for a page turning extravaganza of carnal delight. I could not put this one down!
