Three years ago journalist Parker Davidson barely survived a brutal attack by his psychopathic ex-boyfriend. It’s given him a dim view of romance.
When Parker’s ex escapes from a maximum security prison, LAPD Lieutenant Henry Stagge is tasked with making sure that Parker doesn’t end up a victim a second–and final–time.
Most cops believe Parker got what he deserved, but over the course of a few very tense hours, Henry begins to wonder if there’s more to Parker than he thought.
Love can happen in the strangest places–and at the strangest times.

This is the thing with some short stories: the plot is great, it's obvious there's a lot going on in the background, for both main characters, and it becomes clear something really intense happened before. In 'Night Watch' it is revealed exactly what happened, but I needed more excitement, more keeping me on the edge.
But I kind of expected this. Josh Lanyon is one of my favourite authors so I kind of knew a short story won't satisfy me. I still liked it a lot, though, and on one hand I think I prefer this as a short story. I liked how so much was packed in just a few pages. And I really liked the mai characters too, Parker and Henry were both great.
