Adrenaline and danger have coursed through my veins since my first foot chase. I live for the thrill as a detective…or at least I did until losing my partner and lover skewed my perspective. Now returned from leave, I just want to feel steady earth again. But Officer Al threatens everything rational with his daredevil smile. We connect on calls while he drives me wild denying every off-duty advance. He's a man of discipline who plays by strict rules, and keeps his past locked down tight. But when bodies surface close to home bearing the mark of old ghosts, Al vows to protect me at all costs. Can we take down demons external and within? The sparks between us warn of conflagration…and Al may just show this wary heart the biggest thrill comes when you stop chasing the past, and dare to fall.
