An attempted bank robbery brings five customers and a doctor together when they are taken hostage by the robbers. Can Tabitha and the five men–Preston, Bing, Ezra, Randy, and Marc, foil them without one of them dying in the process?

‘Breaking news–A bank robbery attempt has turned into a hostage situation. According to a police spokesperson, four men entered the bank at ten-thirty this morning intending to rob it. Someone activated the silent alarm, bringing the police to the scene. Accounts are sketchy but it has been reported via text messages from a customer inside the bank, the security guard was shot. His condition is unknown at this time. A few minutes later, two more shots were heard. According to the police, there were two tellers, two other bank personnel, and five customers inside the bank when the robbers invaded. We will keep you updated as more becomes known.’

Thus begins the attempt by Tabitha, Preston, Bing, Ezra, Randy, and soon, Doctor Marc Rivers, to foil the robbers and regain their freedom–without being killed in the process.

Review: This is an action packed epilogue! You get to reunite briefly with several couples from the Winterfield series and see how they react under pressure. Turns out the robbers picked the wrong day to hit this bank, given that half the town’s gay population is held hostage leaving their angry and determined partners outside to foil their heist. This story contains gunfire, death, and heroic rescue, but a warning to those looking for it: no hot smex.
