When a closeted cop reconnects with his sexy foster brother, they pursue a hateful criminalтАФand their forbidden attractionтАФin this suspenseful romance.
As a police officer, Dante GreenтАЩs career has kept him far away from the one temptation he wonтАЩt 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 heтАЩs not a kid anymore. HeтАЩs a New York City firefighter, and heтАЩs done chasing after things he canтАЩt have. But after witnessing a hate crime, it quickly becomes clear that Dante isnтАЩt 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 fatherтАЩs trust. But Luke isnтАЩt about to let anything get in the way of their happily-ever-afterтАФeven DanteтАЩs fear of commitment.
