When a guest drops dead at a dinner party, bookseller Adrien English once again finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation.

Unfortunately, the case brings back the one man Adrien has never quite managed to forget: LAPD homicide detective Jake Riordan—now a lieutenant, still dangerously attractive, and still deeply conflicted about his sexuality. And Adrien.

Adrien would rather focus on solving the crime. After all, he has a new boyfriend: brilliant, charming UCLA professor Guy Snowden.

But murder has a way of stirring up old secrets…and old feelings.
