Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (snippets are 6 sentences long–one for each colour in the Pride flag). You can find all the snippets by clicking here.
Today's Snippet is from my WIP, Deacon's Law, so this is unedited and subject to change.

Rafe looked at him and his eyes glittered brightly with emotion. “Maybe you could be the one who makes me the best person I can be.” God, Rafe was going to kill him talking like this.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Deacon said, his tone hard. The years that separated them had been hard and he was left with all kinds of scars on his skin and even darker marks on his soul. Yet Rafe looked at him like he saw something other than his scruffy beard and his messy blond hair.

The last thing he needs is to be dragged back in that world, but an attempt on Rafe’s life is enough to make him risk his heart again.
Rafael 'Rafe' Martinez wakes up in hospital, the victim of a hit and run. He’s stunned when the first face he sees is that of the man who betrayed him and left him for dead three years before. Witness protection had stripped Rafe of his name and now it seems someone from his past wants him dead. The only way he can stay alive is to trust the man who tried to kill him and then broke his heart. But how can he ever trust Deacon, and how can Deacon protect Rafe without falling in love all over again?
