Olives for the Stranger - Paperback

by Neil S. Plakcy (Author)

Aidan and Liam face the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia as protesters and police clash in the streets. A gay couple who live on a vineyard in the Tunisian countryside asks Aidan and Liam to protect their niece Leila, a young girl whose mother has been taken into police custody. Leila, though, has been raised by her religious parents to distrust, even hate, her gay uncles and anyone like them. For the first time, the bodyguards have to protect someone who embodies the world's prejudice against them. As the threats against Leila and her activist parents grow, hunky ex-SEAL Liam is stuck in the Tunisian countryside while teacher and novice bodyguard Aidan travels to France on his own with Leila. Liam must deal with his emotions once separated from his partner, while Aidan struggles to protect Leila and her father from a deadly villain as Liam has taught him. Both men must examine the depths of their love for each other while it seems the whole country is against them.
