  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.

  Leighton Voss arrives on Echo Island, drawn by reports of strange occurrences which have disrupted its once tranquil serenity. As an investigative journalist with a passion for uncovering hidden stories, Leighton hopes to uncover the truth behind the island's mysteries, something that might offer the clarity she's been seeking, both in her career and her personal life. What she doesn't expect is to become entangled in a mystery that feels far more personal and unsettling than anything she's chased before.
  While exploring the island's jagged cliffs, Leighton stumbles upon a hidden passage that leads her to a world frozen in time -- a vintage village suspended in the past and a woman named Audrey, whose quiet sadness seems to hold the key to the island's strange happenings. Audrey's elegance and mysterious presence immediately draw Leighton in, and as the two grow closer, Leighton finds herself deeply immersed in the enigma surrounding Audrey and the island. 
  Caught between the need to uncover the truth and her growing, undeniable feelings for Audrey, Leighton is forced to face an impossible choice. There may be a way out of the cycle that has entrapped the island, but escaping it could mean losing the woman she's come to care for. As the tension between the promise of freedom and her emotional attachment to Audrey intensifies, Leighton must confront how much she's willing to sacrifice -- not just for her own future, but for the woman who has captured her heart.

That doesn't stop him from seeing Gage's heart and wanting to solidify their connection.
  
  
  But in order for the bond to fully form between them, Bran needs to see their past. Gage, on the other hand, isn't sure about magic he isn't familiar with. It'll take patience and conversation before Gage is on board, but when they finally take that step, their lives are irrevocably changed. Solstice is the first day of their new forever.
