Martin Dance knows better than to get involved with a rent boy. After all, he's been around the block a few times. And a few times after that. Still, there's something about Johnny Cotton that catches his eye. And his heart.
When Johnny and his best friend find themselves in over their heads with the woman who owns them lock, stock, and barrel, Martin knows he has to step in.
Martin and his old buddy, Charlie Bass, might be retired from the Firm, but they still know how to manage a gunfight. And how to go underground with a couple of male hookers less than half their age. Just for the purpose of keeping them safe, you understand. No funny business intended.
Odd, though, how funny business tends to creep in when you least expect it.
It's sort of like love that way, Martin decides. One minute you're minding your own business, the next minute you're in a world of hurt. Or, if you're lucky, a world of happy.
