"Dr. Miles McCabe knows how to carry the weight of other people's suffering. As a crisis counselor, it's his job. But when his own past collides with a disturbing new case, he's forced onto the sidelines—his license under review, his every move scrutinized.
Rowan Ashcroft has built his reputation on silence. Former covert operative turned investigative podcaster, he's made a career out of exposing the hidden machinery of power. He doesn't trust easily, and he doesn't talk about the scars he carries.
A violent breach of patient confidentiality throws Miles and Rowan into the same fight. What begins as reluctant cooperation turns into something deeper: a partnership forged in danger, sharpened by attraction neither man expected.
But the closer they come to unraveling the truth, the higher the cost. Miles risks losing the profession that defines him. Rowan risks breaking the one rule that's kept him alive—never let anyone close enough to borrow his pain.
For both men, survival isn't just about exposing secrets. It's about learning how to trust, and deciding if love is worth the risk.

"Michael McCabe doesn't take vacations—especially not after nearly losing his brother to a psychotic arsonist. But when an explosion rocks his enforced getaway in Tahiti, the off-duty SWAT officer is pulled into a crisis that looks like far more than bad luck.
Alex Kessler came to the islands to scatter his late wife's ashes—a final step in a grieving process that's consumed him for a year and a half. The last thing he expects is to be swept into danger . . . or into the guarded orbit of a man like Michael.
When the threat follows them back home to Seattle, survival means trust—and what began as a single violent incident spirals into something deeper: secret files, hidden agendas, and a classified operation known only as Project Asphodel.
As the danger escalates, so does their connection—raw, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. Sometimes what happens in Tahiti doesn't stay there. Sometimes, it follows you home.

"Some secrets are meant to stay buried. But love has a way of digging them up.
EMT Matthew McCabe has seen it all—heart attacks in moving ambulances, overdoses in alleyways, even the occasional gunshot wound. But nothing prepares him for the man pulled from a wrecked car with no ID, a bullet in his side, and a story he won't tell.
By the time Matthew goes looking for answers, the stranger has vanished.
Until he shows up again at Matthew's door—bleeding, hunted, and very much alive.
Dorian Wallace was supposed to be dead. It was cleaner that way. But when a mission goes sideways and the body count won't stop growing, he turns to the EMT who once saved his life. Matthew should report him. Instead, something in Dorian's haunted eyes pulls him deeper—into danger, into secrets, and into a connection neither expected.
As coded messages and buried files resurface, Matthew and Dorian are caught in a deadly game where the past refuses to stay hidden. And the closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to let go of each other.
Contains mature themes."
"Some fires can't be contained. Some obsessions never burn out.
Firefighter Marcus McCabe has faced infernos that could swallow a city whole—but nothing feels as dangerous as the man watching him from the flames.
When a string of arsons turns personal, Marcus is thrown together with James Reynolds, a brilliant forensic psychologist with a past he won't talk about. Their chemistry is instant—raw, reckless, and impossible to ignore.
The deeper they dig, the more chilling the truth becomes: the arsonist isn't just setting fires. He's sending Marcus a message.
With the city on edge and the predator closing in, Marcus and James must decide what scares them more—the monster in the fire, or the heat between them.
Includes Something's Coming, a bonus prequel chapter to Breach Point, the second book in the First in Line series.
Contains mature themes."
