Overview

Geoffrey Edward Stephen Ainsley, 7th Marquess of Garvey and Lieutenant Colonel in Her Majesty’s Special Reconnaissance Regiment is the leader of Team Alice, the best covert recovery team in Afghanistan. But when his latest mission, to save US Army Ranger Captain Peter Carlisle goes south, Geoff winds up in the hospital next to the man he saved. The man he doesn’t want to admit takes his breath away. When Peter wakes, can Geoff keep his attraction to himself or does a stollen kiss after a PTSD episode spark so quickly neither of them can deny the feelings between them? Peter Carlisle is happy in his mostly straight identity but one look at the handsome man who saved him, he questions if he is mostly anything. Geoff makes him laugh, makes his body tingle, and the sound of his voice and his kiss are the only things that can pull him out of the memories of his torture. They’re from two different worlds, Geoff is an aristocrat and Peter’s an All-American Boy from Indiana. They have an uphill battle, especially when Geoff’s father, the Duke of Torrington intercedes. Lovers to friends to lovers to friends, their label keeps changing, but when Geoff vanishes, Peter drops everything, including his nice, neat, little life with a fiancée he doesn’t really love, to find him. A race against the clock and facing the worry of the unknown, Peter and Geoff promise one thing, they will see each other again. And this time, their label will never change. Take My Breath Away is a MM romantic suspense, with a meddlesome parent trying to keep them apart, hurt/comfort, friends to lovers, with some MF romantic aspects, some hilarious 80s music conversations, and of course, a HEA. Possible triggers include: torture, PTSD, slight homophobia from a parental figure, and 80s rock music… yes, it can be a trigger.
