Infuriating by Onley James (Paperback)

The fourth book in Onley James’s Elite Protection Services series — an MM romance with a guaranteed happy-ever-after and no cliffhanger.

Jackson Avery has everything in life except someone to share it with. As the owner of one of the largest private security firms in the country, he’s got plenty to keep him busy while he waits for ‘the one’ — and after a year spent dealing with the fallout of his best agents falling for their clients, romance is the last thing he expects. Then he takes one look at feisty camboy Dayton Daniels and knows, almost instantly, that Day is it for him.

Day has been on his own since he was fourteen, scraping by however he can. A severe learning disability means he can’t read, so he’s found creative ways to make a living, and camming lets him earn while keeping everyone at arm’s length — exactly how he likes it. Until he witnesses a murder, and Jackson walks into his life. Guarding Day is meant to be a simple off-the-books favour until the killer is found, but Jackson quickly discovers there’s nothing simple about him: he’s beautiful, sharp and surprising, and Jackson is all in within minutes. Day, though, can’t imagine a man like Jackson choosing someone like him, and he’s determined to push him away, however much it costs. But as threats against Day escalate and Jackson’s team close in on a killer, the walls Day has built start to crack.

Please note: this book contains brief portrayals of childhood emotional abuse, discussions of past child sexual trauma, and one scene of on-page physical violence to a main character. It also contains age-gap and mature content. Do check the author’s content warnings before starting, and take care if these themes affect you.

Perfect for readers who love an instalove-meets-slow-defences pairing, protector dynamics, a murder to solve and a hard-won HEA.
