Private investigator Ashton Kane thought it would be a simple surveillance job: follow Adrian Cross, document his activities, report back to his wealthy father. But when Adrian catches Ashton tailing him and suggests they meet for coffee instead, everything Ashton thought he knew about the case - and about himself - begins to unravel.

Adrian Cross has spent his entire adult life hiding who he really is to keep his inheritance and protect the LGBTQ+ youth center he secretly funds. But there's something about the serious, dark-eyed detective that makes him want to take risks he's never dared before.

What starts as a professional arrangement quickly becomes something much more dangerous: a connection that could cost Ashton his career and Adrian his family fortune. When Adrian's homophobic father discovers their relationship, both men must choose between the safety of their closets and the courage to love openly.

In a city where secrets have power and truth comes with a price, Ashton and Adrian will learn that some cases can only be solved with the heart - and that sometimes losing everything is the only way to find what truly matters.

A story of love conquering fear, chosen family, and the courage it takes to live authentically.
