Publisher Description
San Francisco SWAT Lieutenant Connor Morgan and Crossroads Gin drummer Forest Ackerman make an odd couple. Connor, an Irish-born cop from a tight-knit family, never imagined he’d find his happily-ever-after with a raised-on-the-streets musician, but Forest had the gentlest soul he’d ever met. After a long, hard road of heartbreak, murder, and trouble, they fell hard in love and married.
Then Fate intervenes and throws their lives into a chaos neither one of them is prepared for.
During a brutal SWAT raid, Connor stumbles on Tate, an abused, vulnerable little boy caught in a shoot-out with his father’s drug-running gang. As heavy fire riddles the walls, an injured Connor rescues Tate from the fray… only to be struck numb when a caseworker pries a sobbing Tate from his arms.
Scarred from his own childhood experiences, Forest doubts he can be a good enough father, but Connor assures him they can give Tate what he needs and more. Soon they are on an insane ride where trust and affection are hard-earned, especially when coming from a little boy raised in society’s filthiest gutters. Facing down every challenge thrown their way, they battle to give Tate what Connor treasures and Forest never had—a family to call his own.

Love and Trust is hard fought
Port in a Storm by Rhys Ford is the story of Conner and & Forest becoming foster parents and the ups, and twists and turns that go hand in hand. Conner during a raid saved a little boy from a hail of gunfire not realizing that very moment changed his life forever. Forest with a background of foster care and dealing with the emotional fallout is scared he will not make a great father. But after much consideration Tate entered their lives battered and bruised and I the Conner and Forest find they want to keep him always. This story was beautiful, heartbreaking and hopeful all at the same time. Rhys is a master at pulling your heart out, stomping on it then kissing it all better. You can feel the anguish and desolation, love and happiness rising from the pages of this book and I loved every minute of it.
