Description:Tony Bodega’s traumatizing past has marked him forever. After a killer broke into his house and killed his mother, Tony knew that it was his life’s mission to help other people. He intended to do that until the day that he died, but he didn’t want to do it with the police in Tario, the city that brought him up. As corrupt as it is poor, the city has plenty of mysteries to solve for a private investigator. Tony doesn’t need to join the police to help people, he can do it from the privacy of his office, without any of the corruption that comes with bureaucracy.
Things are going relatively to plan—his recent divorce to his ex-wife notwithstanding--until Alana Mays enters his office and tells him that she’s being stalked. He urges her to go to the police. After she tells him that she has and they still haven’t taken her case, Tony decides that he’s going to help her.
During his investigation, he meets Detective Cedric Logan. A police detective that takes a keen interest in the Alana Mays case, he’s also the kind of man that Tony always dreamed of. Openly bisexual, he would love to ask Cedric Logan for a drink—something that he fully intends to do once the case is over. But before he knows it, Tony is implicated in a way that he never thought possible, one that might not just end any chance of a relationship for good, but one that could ruin his life forever.
Detective Cedric Logan knows better than to get involved with a suspect, but there’s something about Tony Bodega that he finds truly irresistible. After agreeing to work on the case of the missing woman with him, Cedric has to decide if Tony’s motives are nefarious or if he really is the broody but charming and sweet man that Cedric is finding himself more and more infatuated with every minute that they spend together.
