Arkady Izmaylov is a family man. He's also gay. In Russia. His sister Natalya has been telling him to get out for years, but it's only after an attack in the street that he finally concedes and says yes to her desperate plan of him marrying a stranger for a green card.

Jason Cooley was taught from birth that he's no good to anyone. Then the military taught him he was good enough to save other lives, but that purpose got amputated along with his leg. He's now working security at Wolf's Landing and sending monthly checks to his ex for their daughter's education. When Natalya asks him to marry her brother, Jason knows right away he'll do it more for the mission than the money she's offering. But when he actually meets Arkady, his mission turns complicated.

Jason quickly discovers he's not as straight as he thought. He's also the man of Arkady's dreams. Arkady must convince Jason that he's worth loving, and that Arkady won't disappear from his life like everyone else. Because Arkady has always wanted a family of his own, and he's not letting go of this one.

      Gordon makes an intimate and touching contribution to the collaborative Bluewater Bay contemporary series, set in a rural Washington logging town. Soldier Jason Cooley lost any sense of his own value when a partial leg amputation ended his treasured career in getting people out of danger. He’s desperate to find a new source of income, since his five-year-old daughter’s gotten into an expensive school for the gifted. Arkady Nikolayevich Izmaylov, a literature professor, needs a way out of Russia; after being outed as gay, he’s lost his job and been targeted by assailants. His sister, who knows Jason, suggests that a green card marriage might solve both their problems. Jason is thrilled to have someone to save, but he’s not sure about marriage, and he thinks he’s straight. Then he meets Arkady and sparks fly. Jason realizing that he’s bi—and that bisexuality is a real thing—is charming and cute. Gordon finds clever, beautiful ways to play the men’s realistic insecurities off each other, and the misunderstandings are plausibly handled and paced well. Readers will cheer for both Jason and Arkady as their sham marriage becomes passionately real.
