For more than 10 years, private investigator Raymond Knott has harbored deep feelings of desire for police captain Liam Ferguson. From the moment they first met, the attraction was intense. But despite laying their lives on the line for one another every day, he never had the courage open up. When the San Francisco Police Department needs help bringing down a serial killer, Liam invites his old partner back to help him one last time. Not only to get a criminal off the streets, but because he has a revelation of his own to make.

PI Jackson Rivers and Defense Attorney Ellery Cramer have barely recovered from last November, when stopping a serial killer nearly destroyed Jackson in both body and spirit. But their previous investigation poked a new danger with a stick, forcing Jackson and Ellery to leave town, so they can meet the snake in its den. Jackson Rivers grew up with the mean streets as a classroom, and he learned a long time ago not to give a damn about his own life. But he gets a whole new education when the enemy takes Ellery.
