REUNION - THE COMPLETE SERIES
The idea to write more about Ryan and Nico's life was a joint decision, I'd been messing around with what could have happened to them, then when members of my Facebook reader group Harper's Honeys starting asking about them it was an easy yes. So, After two years, it’s time to bring back the men that started a whole De’ath of You series.
Now Ryan and Nico are here again, all in one book with added chapters filling in the 'what happened after' questions and over 450 pages.
​
Will this be the end? Who knows with these men
When Nico Angeles finally plucks up the courage to face his past, to face the man he walked away from ten years ago, he expects Ryan to be angry and to refuse to listen to his explanation and his apology. What he doesn’t expect is his love.
Ryan Connelly has tried to move on and forget the love of his life. He joined the army, expecting the drama of war to ease the pain in his heart. But nothing changes the way he feels. When he sees Nico’s name on the high school reunion list, Ryan knows he will get his chance to reconnect with him.
Just when everything looks like it’s going their way, a blast from Nico’s past threatens to break them apart again.
With the danger removed, Ryan and Nico return to Nico’s home, ready to find their happily ever after. They quickly slot into their new life, happy and in love, never expecting a visit from Ryan’s former commanding officer could ruin their newfound bliss. Is Ryan strong enough to survive? Bolstered by the depth of Nico’s love, he accepts his last mission, wondering if they will ever get the happiness they deserve.
