When a closeted cop reconnects with his sexy foster brother, they pursue a hateful criminalโand their forbidden attractionโin this suspenseful romance.
As a police officer, Dante Greenโs career has kept him far away from the one temptation he wonโt 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 heโs not a kid anymore. Heโs a New York City firefighter, and heโs done chasing after things he canโt have. But after witnessing a hate crime, it quickly becomes clear that Dante isnโt 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 fatherโs trust. But Luke isnโt about to let anything get in the way of their happily-ever-afterโeven Danteโs fear of commitment.
