Claiming Cage
About this book
Cage Dalton could best be described as broody and reserved. After an IED explosion left him scarred, both physically and emotionally, his career as a Navy SEAL was over. But even though he was free to come out of the closet when he left the military to work in private security with the GWA, Cage kept his sexuality, along with his former outgoing personality, mostly to himself. While his boss, and mostly his boss’s kid, became close enough for him to consider them family and let them see the fun-loving uncle he’d once been, rejection from his biological family and the callous words of strangers at seeing his scars, made him close himself off to ever finding love for himself. So, he didn’t see the point in risking possible rejection by letting anyone know he was gay. Then one day, Jax Nolen started traveling with the GWA as the history tutor.
Jax Nolen was his exact opposite, proud to be out as a gay man. But after discrimination for his sexuality cost him his last teaching job, he didn’t want to make it an issue when he interviewed for the history tutor position with the GWA, especially after learning they’d recently fired a teacher for flirting with the married parents of their students. Wanting to enjoy the perks of a generous salary and constant travel around the world, Jax vowed to be celibate, not wanting to do anything to risk losing the job of his dreams. Little did he know that when he got to Minneapolis for his first day on the job, the man of his dreams would be the one to pick him up at the airport.
But with Jax being wary of blatantly flirting so he didn’t lose his new job, and Cage being determined to not torture a lover by letting him see his scars, it seemed they might be forever doomed to longing for one another in secret. But then fate, and their matchmaking coworkers, stepped in, pushing them together, whether they were ready or not.
