Summary:

It’s said diamonds are forever but they ended up costing a young flight attendant his life. Now Bodie and Doyle must go undercover in part of London’s gay scene to find a missing girl and the diamonds they believe she is hiding before the international racketeers who want them back get to her first. That’s not easy when you’re faced with murder, mayhem and drag queens. How will the lads cope with putting on a gay front when they have their own secrets to try and keep?

Brilliant to give us supects to fall in love with. :-)
And when did B+D ever get a 'welcome home' banner? Yes, I love the Riverboat Queen gang!
And the boys fit!
"...and Bodie patrolled, acting bouncer to the hilt in black trousers and black roll neck jumper, Doyle thought he enjoyed the role perhaps a little too much. He looked good though."
Yes...!

*sigh* for the h/c! And the subtle hospital scenes.
His Bodie was sleeping.

And I love Cowley'y reaction to their love affair. Always the Scot, eh? ;-)

What a great story!
Thank you!

I’m so pleased that you liked the gang, and the ‘welcome home’ banner:D I loved creating them and their world, really wanted them to appeal to readers and show that our lads could be a part of that world. I’m glad it worked.

Lol, Bodie in black acting the bouncer does have a certain appeal*g*

h/c, is a favourite subject of mine in fics too and a delight to write so it's very pleasing that the scenes came across well for you.

And I love Cowley'y reaction to their love affair. Always the Scot, eh? ;-)

Yep, his Scottish pragmatism coming out – if he couldn’t stop them, he might as well take the most advantage of the situation*g*


What a great story!
Thank you!
