The Pride

Mayor's son Dakota Julian is minding his business and marching in the annual Heritage Pride Parade when a fight breaks out between him and some hecklers. Dakota isn't a stranger to trouble and thinks he can battle himself out of the situation with his fists, until the police arrive and arrest everyone involved.

The last person in the world he expects to bail him out of jail is the mayor's bodyguard, Roman Lombardi, who is supposed to be out of town. Dakota and Roman have history, but this is not the way he wants to impress the tall, handsome, and muscular bodyguard.

Even though Dakota promised he wouldn't be participating in this year's Pride march, Roman isn't surprised to see him there, strutting his stuff wearing a tube top, short shorts, and cowboy boots. Nor is he surprised when Dakota gets into a fight and is hauled off to jail.

What surprises him is Dakota throwing his arms around Roman's neck and kissing him senselessly. Though flattered, giving the media ammunition to use against the mayor doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. What also isn't smart is the mayor asking Roman to keep an eye on Dakota for the weekend while he entertains guests. After that kiss, anything is bound to happen.
