Demming

Demming had a plan… until the son of his enemy forces him to question who he is and what he wants. Demming has been on a decade-long personal mission to right the wrongs done to his family. There’s zero room in his life for anything or anyone else, especially not the son of the man he holds responsible for stealing away his father’s company. Thrust into a role he doesn’t feel ready for, all Hart wants is to make his father proud. Then Demming storms into his office, making demands. They may be at odds, but underneath the mercenary’s stubborn and gruff exterior, Hart discovers a lonely man with a kindred spirit. With each moment they spend in each other’s company, the chip on Demming’s shoulder crumbles and soon he finds himself questioning who he is, what he wants, and where he fits, if not at Hart’s side? Demming is the final installment in the Freelancers series, but can be read as a complete standalone. It’s a low-angst, bi-awakening novella featuring a grumpy mercenary with an ax to grind, a soft-hearted billionaire heir with something to prove, and tender yet hot, first-time themes.
