When a closeted cop reconnects with his sexy foster brother, they pursue a hateful criminalβand their forbidden attractionβin this suspenseful romance.
As a police officer, Dante Greenβs career has kept him far away from the one temptation he wonβt let himself pursue: his younger foster brother. But when he bumps into the now-out-and-proud firefighter at Smoke & Bullets, he finds himself wrestling with fantasies and desires he thought were long behind him.
Luke Parsons fell in lust with Dante when he was thirteen years old, but heβs not a kid anymore. Heβs a New York City firefighter, and heβs done chasing after things he canβt have. But after witnessing a hate crime, it quickly becomes clear that Dante isnβt as straight as Luke always thought.
With Luke to introduce him to the local gay scene, Dante dives into an unsanctioned investigation as the attraction between them grows. Unfortunately, Luke is totally off-limits. Dating him would be a betrayal of their foster fatherβs trust. But Luke isnβt about to let anything get in the way of their happily-ever-afterβeven Danteβs fear of commitment.
