Love is not always perfect, but it can be beautiful. Such is the case for Lyle, a policeman who does not expect to find his perfect mate while responding to a homicide call at the derelict Grosher Hotel. It is there, though, that he meets Keon, a young paraplegic man who is one welfare check away from living out on the street. Thus begins an adventure that the two men will never forget.

What happened to Robert Nelson the fireman, Lyle's love interest who was gravely injured during a routine house fire? What happened to Logan Thompson, Lyle's alternate boyfriend? And what happened to Lyle, Dieter and Michaels in San Diego when no less than two separate gangs came gunning for them? All these questions and more are answered in this; Lyle, Dieter and Michaels' final adventure.

This time, Orlando, Bonzai and Sheila, the respective partners and wife of Lyle, Michaels and Dieter, have a surprise waiting for the three cops and it is not a pleasant one. Suddenly, life is becoming complicated for the boys, although for Lyle it's even worse when he falls head over heels in love with a fireman in this continuation of the Lyle saga.

Rest assured that as long as there is crime in the streets, Lyle will be out there keeping the city safe. But what about when that crime hits a little close to home - like within the police department itself? There's something rotten going on and Lyle and his working partners, Michaels and Dieter are being directly affected. The charge is murder and the boys are going to prison one by one, and it is up to Lyle to not only clear his partner's names but his own name as well before he, too, i...

Lyle's life is now complicated by a number of factors. First and foremost, a kidnapper has emerged on the scene, abducting children. Things really heat up, though, when the bad guy starts signing names to his notes... familiar names. And then there's FBI agent, Orlando Alvarez, with whom Lyle butts antlers at every turn, and yet he finds an unalterable attraction towards the man.

Continuing from where book one left off, Lyle heads back out to the mean city streets in search of murder and mayhem and all kinds of other fun 'cop things'. Surprisingly, a routine traffic stop results in something most unexpected - named Bucky, and he's got all the qualifications for a runaway romance. Dieter and Michaels are back as well, both of them harboring startling secrets of their own.

What is the role of the intellect in the life of faith?Jesus commanded us to love God with our minds—but why? Isn't simply believing enough?

Some Christians go even further, arguing that knowledge exists in opposition to faith—that one must choose either the truth of science or the truth of the Bible.The realit...
