Second from The Vault
Terrence Moss. Conrad Harris. Gold Team Leader. Darius Hawthorne. The Vault. Juggling all these names would bother some, but for Darius, it s business as usual. When he closes a chapter in his life, he leaves a name and the people associated with it behind. He s managed to keep a few colleagues, even fewer friends, and no companionship through his forty-plus years but that s now changing.
The newest chapter of his life is bringing serious change: a stable home, a recovered identity, an unlikely family, and now a chance encounter with the one man Darius ever loved: Efrem Lahm. The reasons they parted are still valid, and there s no way they can trust each other. But Efrem has already decided he won t let Darius go and Darius will have to decide if he wants to take a chance with his heart this late in the day.
