    About this ebook

    After Emery Hazard loses his job as a detective in Saint Louis, he heads back to his hometown--and to the local police force there. Home, though, brings no happy memories, and the ghosts of old pain are very much alive in Wahredua. Hazard’s new partner, John-Henry Somerset, had been one of the worst tormentors, and Hazard still wonders what Somerset’s role was in the death of Jeff Langham, Hazard’s first boyfriend.

    When a severely burned body is discovered, Hazard finds himself drawn deeper into the case than he expects. Determining the identity of the dead man proves impossible, and solving the murder grows more and more unlikely. But as the city’s only gay police officer, Hazard is placed at the center of a growing battle between powerful political forces. To his surprise, Hazard finds an unlikely ally in his partner, the former bully. And as they spend more time together, something starts to happen between them, something that Hazard can’t--and doesn’t want--to explain.

    The discovery of a second mutilated corpse, though, reveals clues that the two murders are linked, and as Hazard gets closer to answers, he uncovers a conspiracy of murder and betrayal that goes deeper--and closer to home--than he could ever expect.

      I was a little apprehensive about starting this book. Law enforcement books (at least the fictional romantic ones) are usually either a hit or miss for me due to my own job and experience. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Gregory Ashe infused his book with enough little realistic details that I could sink myself into the story and enjoy it fully. The mystery was interesting, but the main draw of this story for me was the emotional development both independently and together of the two main characters: Emery Hazard and John-Henry Somerset. Be warned, this is a SLOOOOWWWW BURN book. Anyone with eyes knows Hazard and Somerset belong together, but we, as readers, are in for the long haul to see these two get together. And I’m okay with that. I don’t mind a slow burn when it’s well done, and this book was extremely well done. But just because it’s a slow burn, doesn’t mean there aren’t delicious sex scenes – and those are HOT. Overall, I loved this book and I’m so happy I finally got around to reading it.
