Special Agent Angus Green is still in his twenties, and his red hair and good looks often make people underestimate him, but he's a smart, fearless cop who believes in the FBI motto: Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. Fort Lauderdale retiree Frank Sena is working with pawn shop owner Jesse Venable to retrieve a painting stolen from Frank's uncle, a gay Venetian killed during the Holocaust. Angus volunteers to help Frank, and discovers Venable is the subject of a task force looking into smuggling immigrants out of war-torn countries in the Middle East. Angus, who knows nothing about art and speaks no Italian, may be in over his head as he is assigned to befriend, and ultimately betray, Venable. But with the help of his Italian-speaking brother and his art-loving boyfriend, he may be able not only to retrieve the painting, but solve a smuggling case and potentially save thousands of lives. The investigation will take him from the sun-drenched rooftops of Venice to a private yacht speeding down Fort Lauderdale's New River. Along the way, he'll learn the true meaning of survival. "Fast-paced, fun and as fresh as a South Florida ocean breeze." – PJ Parrish, New York Times bestselling author on The Next One Will Kill You.Show book
Finn was doing a good job living in the present, until his past came tumbling back into his life along with Levi, the friend he'd thought he'd lost forever. Finn Promises always got broken. I'd believed that since I was a kid. My parents had broken a promise when they abandoned me and my siblings, foster homes had broken promises when they tried to separate us, and Levi had broken his when he failed to come to my rescue. Fourteen years later, I discovered the truth that changed everything: Levi hadn't broken his promise, he was in Mistvale, and I could get to know him and his sweet familiar. People rarely got to fall in love with their first crush, and I had the chance, if I could just figure out how to let go of the past. Levi When I moved to Mistvale, the last person I expected to run into was Finn. Delighted to see him alive and eager to catch up, I was ecstatic when my familiar told me he was my mate.

Realizing we were both still dealing with the after-effects of our shared trauma wasn't really a surprise, but discovering we were stronger together was.
