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.

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...

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.

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.
