Favorite Son (Gallant Hearts, #2) / Gallant Hearts (ePub)

Marcus Worthington is the favorite son and heir to the Worthington family fortune. From the time he and his brother were taken in by their grandfather after their parents' death, Marcus has been groomed to take over the family business. His life hasn't been his to live for as long as he can remember. At least he is in a position to take care of his black sheep brother and repay his grandfather for his kindness. Even if it means he is alone while living the destiny planned for him.

Jack Boynton works in security for Worthington, Ltd., and enjoys the challenges of his position. He has a quiet life and comes and goes as it suits him. He lacks companionship but believes that void will be filled when the time is right. Until then, he helps to keep Worthington Towers secure for the high power executives who work at one of the elite firms in the city.

When a security breach throws the two disparate men together, a spark of attraction ignites into a flame that is hard for either to ignore. Overcoming the barriers of money and class are harder for Marcus than for Jack who has no respect for boundaries. Will Marcus move beyond his cold distance to find a meeting in the middle to embrace the solid foundation Jack can provide?


This standalone 22k word instalove novella has a snobby overworked executive and a rough-around-the-edges security man who is determined to bridge the gap between them and a HEA.
