A Man for Jared by Declan Rhodes

Jared Sanderson has spent his life wanting to be a hero. That’s why he became a cop. It was a life that kept him busy and organized without worries about romantic relationships. His work was too dangerous to expect anyone to bother with a long-term connection, until Quinn, an old high school friend, reappeared in his life.
Quinn Martin left the small town of Lincolnport as a high school senior and cut all of his social ties, including a casual friendship with Jared. After they meet again in Lincolnport’s annual Fun Run as two out gay men, both successful in their careers, the attraction which smoldered in high school is kindled into a flame. Unfortunately, Quinn has a secret that’s likely to sink any possibilities for a permanent relationship.
