Rafferty, or Raff, as Nick calls him, has been the best friend of Nick for the past four years. He's straight, and recently divorced after ending a fairly loveless marriage. He's been having a tough time dealing with feelings he's having for Nick. Feelings that he doesn't understand, because he's supposed to be straight, so why is he having these erotic dreams and desires for his best friend?

Nick is a gay cop, but no one, not even his best friend Raff knows about this. Things went bad at his last precinct so he's gone to great pains to make sure no one knows about him. But he's in love with Raff and has been since they met. They "clicked" from day one and have spent all their time together since then, doing everything together, including going boating on Raff's boat.

Things come to a head one weekend on Raff's boat when unexpected events bring their feelings for each out in the open and they can't help but act on them. Then comes the angst. Raff, being straight, has a very hard time dealing with his new feelings and the new dynamics of his relationship with Nick so instead of dealing with it, he hides from Nick and his feelings.

I absolutely loved this book. I'm going to place it on my favorites shelf. It's a combination of all my favorites, GFY, cops, with lots of angst. I gave it 5 stars. It was written very well. My only complaint, if you could call it a complaint, maybe more of a, "I wish the author had done more of this" would be if we could have gotten more of Raff's perspective during the time that he was so emotionally distraught. We knew was Nick was thinking so it would have been nice to know more of what Raff's perspective was. The story would have been a bit more fulfilling that way. But regardless, in the end, we got a sweet HEA and the sex was HOT! What a great story to get wrapped up in. Not too long, or too heavy, just sweet, and sexy with lots of angst that gives stories so much feeling. I loved it!
