About this book

When Inspector Lennon Gray and charming FBI Agent Ambrose Mars are paired to investigate a dangerous hallucinogenic drug tearing through San Francisco's most vulnerable communities, their undeniable chemistry becomes just as intoxicating as the case itself. Lennon is drawn to Ambrose's surprising innocence and hidden depths, but as each revelation pulls them closer together, it also threatens to unravel secrets neither of them is prepared to face. This gritty, atmospheric crime thriller pulses with tension both in the investigation and between two damaged people finding unexpected connection in the darkest corners of the city. Perfect for readers who love romance that doesn't shy away from the messy, complicated ways two people can fall for each other while the world around them burns.

Dark, shadowy noir with tension underneath. Moody indie rock, sultry R&B, and brooding electronic beats. Think gritty urban landscapes, dangerous secrets, and magnetic attraction amid corruption. Atmospheric and hypnotic—where desire collides with duty.
