Sweet as Honey by Lynn Hagen

Murder? Taylor is horrified when he finds out his ex-boyfriend is dead and the cops are looking at him as their main suspect. He was the last one to see Jason, and when Taylor left, his ex had been alive. On the run, he finds himself in Fever’s Edge with hardly any money and no place to stay. That is until he runs into a smoking-hot pizza shop owner who takes Taylor in and protects him from not only the law, but the haunting feeling that someone is watching him.

Savant “Papa” Manchino isn’t sure what to make of Taylor when the guy wanders into his pizza shop. He just knows that Taylor is in some kind of trouble, and that he’s Savant’s mate. Things get progressively worse when Taylor has a “feeling” that someone is watching him, and all hell breaks loose when the truth finally comes to light. Savant does everything in his power to keep his mate safe, but when Panahasi and Jaden get involved, all bets are off.
