Gage's Gift

A child is snatched from her home, the one place she should feel safe. Will the KCPD find her before something more sinister happens? Detective DeMarcus Gage of the KCPD Missing Persons Unit knows that most child abductions are perpetrated by family members or persons known to the child. True stranger' abductions are rareand taken very seriously by the police. When eight-year-old Leticia Braden disappears from her front yard the family are ruled out as suspects but actual leads are few. Her traumatized parents need all the support they can get, and designate Leticia's uncle Jack Braden to be their liaison with the detectives. When he meets Jack, Gage struggles to keep his mind on the case. The two men share an immediate case of lust, which they fight to keep under control for more reasons than one. Jack's not out of the closet, and Gage isn't keen on sneaking around. A relationship beckons, but finding Leticia is their first priority. And as every cop knows, time is not on their side.
