A single bullet destroyed the dreams of Dr. Jordan Peterson. With his lover dead, Jordan descends into an endless spiral of self-destruction that nearly costs him his friends, his career and his life. When Jordan finds himself working closely with the aloof Lucas Conover, the investment banker's mysterious past and unexpected kindness shocks him back into a life and emotions he'd thought lost forever.

The betrayal by the foster brother he'd worshiped taught Lucas Conover never to trust or believe in anyone. Living a solitary life doesn't free him of the nightmare of his youth; it reinforces his belief that he would never fall in love. When the death of one of his clients forces him to work closely with Dr. Jordan Peterson, he meets a person whose suffering exceeds his own. Though Jordan rejects his effort to help, something within Luke pushes him discover more about the first man to ever get under his skin. As Luke lets down his guard and Jordan lets go of his pain, desire takes control. Each man must come to terms with past struggles if they are to create a future together. And learning to trust in themselves and love again after tragedy and a lifetime of pain, may be the only thing that saves them in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is wonderful! It is about love lost

This book is wonderful! It is about love lost, love found, and the struggles a person goes through to get back to the land of the living. It is about redemption, finding one's strengths, recognizing your weaknesses, and having the courage to ask for, and to accept help. It is about trust, and family, and knowing that the people you love will stand by you, and lend the strength to help you weather the storm that life throws at you.

Lucas Conover is key in helping Jordan get through his self destructive addiction. My heart broke for the arrogant Dr Jordan Peterson, whom we met in the first book, "A Walk Through Fire". His terrible loss of his fiance Keith shatters his heart, and nearly costs him his friends, his family, and his job. We got to see Ash and Drew, Mike and Rachel, and visit some more with the beloved elderly matriarch of the bunch, Esther, Drew's wise and sharp witted grandmother. The ending scene between Ash and Lucas is powerful, and I read it through blurred vision as tears ran down my cheeks. Secrets and dark pasts are revealed, and pain and shame are brought forth into the harsh light of day. Forgiveness can only be found from the love and guidance of one's partner standing by their side, knowing that they will catch them when they fall. Lucas has Jordan by his side, and Ash has Drew by his side, lending a hand to help forge the broken bond between the two brothers. Together, Drew and Jordan guide both wounded brothers out of the darkness, and on to the path to self forgiveness, and help them release the bonds of anger, guilt, and resentment.
*spoiler*

The very last chapter of the book had me crying the hardest. Together, Lucas and Jordan go visit the grave of Keith, and say their goodbyes. Jordan talks to Keith,saying, "I loved you hard and with everything I had, babe, but it's not fair to Lucas. It's time I let you go. Let go of the past." Lucas protests the past saying, "NO. You don't need to forget the past in order to live the future." He goes on to say how he thought he would never fall in love, and believed he didn't deserve to be loved. Jordan and Lucas both touch the gravestone, running their fingers over the engraved letters of Keith's name, saying goodbye. "Forever in both of our hearts, babe. See you soon."

Tears ran down my face as I sobbed reading this book. I love a book that makes me feel, one that I can relate to the characters, and without a doubt experience their deep emotions. Felice Stevens has accomplished that task, and for me, she has become one of favorite new authors.

Devastated by a loss, Dr. Jordan Peterson meets with Analyst Lucas Conover regarding a community foundation and both men begin a recovery in more ways than one. This is a continuation of good storytelling from book 1 with interesting MCs and emotional issues. It’s well thought out with intricate storylines, even though there are somewhat unrealistic bits. Overall, a good read.

Another Incredible story telling by Felice Stevens !! Deeply thought-filled characters, emotional and heartfelt feelings, and well done M/M hot sexiness, wow !! Life is complicated and we all have issues. It's how we deal with them and who we surround ourselves with that matters. Honesty, understanding, patience, compassion, acceptance and true love are all here to enjoy. Realistic characters and a heart wrenching tale are so vividly written and will hold your attention to the end. I loved Asher and Drew, in the first book, plus the family and friend, so it was great to see them again, because the story is richer if you know the characters deeply. Dr. Jordan Petersen, and Investment Banker, Lucas Conover each have issues, each a different upbringing, and they have to work out those issues, let go, be open and honest to let new hopes, new desires, and new love in. Lucas presented Jordan with the Trust that Keith left him to take care of abused young kids and to get guns of the streets. Jordan has heavy problems with the anti-anxiety meds, and hides it from everyone. He's wallowed in sorrow over Keith's death nearly a year. The Trust and community center give him hope, as Lucas gives him hope for love, also. It's complicated. Lucas is "Luke" from Ash's childhood. Dr. Tash is introduced, as we will see more of him in book three. You will not be disappointed in this story. I really enjoyed the journey. Love this author's writing. Highly recommend. ENJOY !!!

After a tragic death of Jordan's partner's death, he goes through several months of depression and anxiety using a drug and booze to help him through it. Then he meets Lucas, who was Keith's financial advisor when he was alive. Keith and Lucas had been working on a foundation together to get illegal guns and drugs off the streets and he had left the foundation for Jordan to get off the ground. When they both met their attraction was there, but their first impressions were not good about each other. They finally get together, then Lucas finds out that Jordan has been addicted to a drug that he was on during the course of his grieving. The two men go through struggles of the past and present. This story is a very emotional, passionate one that brings the two men closer together along with their friends and families. Jordan has to endure detox with the help of Lucas and a psychiatrist, he goes through an attack from unknown assailants, and the emotional reunion of Lucas and his foster stepbrother. The story is an emotional journey that takes the two and their friends to an awesome ending. The story line is strong which links the two stories of this series. I loved all the characters and felt like I was a part of their lives. The sex was Hot, and the passion was even Hotter turning into Love. If you love MM Romance and Love, you will love this one. Highly recommend!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great second book in the series
Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2017

This book is about Ash's long lost foster brother Lucas who has walled himself off from everyone after what he had to endure growing up, after Ash deserted him and their younger brother Brandon.

Lucas works for the company that handles Jordan Peterson's late fiance Keith's money. Jordan is the best friend of Ash's boyfriend Drew.

Although Lucas and Ash are unaware of each other until part way through the book. Ash has been looking for Lucas for many years after he was forced to leave without him and Brandon due to horrific circumstances, from their foster home.

The conversation that they finally have, will make you cry.

This story is about Jordan and Lucas and how they save each other when neither one realizes that they need saving.

Up next is Embrace the Fire--Brandon 's story. I am looking forward to finding out what happens next to these brave, broken men. Who may have been knocked down a time or two, but always get back up due to the love of a good man.

From the moment I started reading this series with Ash and Drew's story I thought this was a great series. I was right the author grabs the reader with interesting and lovable characters. Jordan and Luke don't let you down. They are interesting and the reader becomes gripped from the start of the book.
Jordan's lost it all when Keith is taken away from him. He's definitely at rock bottom and he can't see a way out. He turns to something that makes him able to cope a little better until it doesn't. He goes to work on helping build the dream Keith left behind. Lucas makes him feel things he hasn't felt for some years.
Lucas feels he's unlovable and he's definitely not looking for it. He can't shake off his meeting with Jordan.
They get to know each other and realise they don't just need each other they can't live without it.
There are a few surprises on the way but it's a great journey. I can't wait to read the next book.
