Recovering from heart surgery under the watchful eyes of his overprotective family is bad enough.

But when someone tries to break into Adrien English’s mystery bookstore in the middle of the night, Adrien suspects trouble is brewing.

Then a decades-old skeleton is discovered beneath the floorboards during renovations at Cloak and Dagger Books.

Suddenly Adrien’s quiet recovery turns into a very real murder investigation—one that brings private investigator Jake Riordan back into his life. Jake is finally out of the closet and no longer pretending their past didn’t matter.

But the deeper Adrien digs into the mystery, the more secrets from his own past begin to surface.

And one of them may prove deadly—for Jake.
