Undercover cop Deacon Shepherd lost everything trying to maintain his cover - the man he loved and the future he dreamed of. He walked away and never looked back because it was the only way to keep Rafael alive.
The last thing he needs is to be dragged back into this world, but an attempted murder on Rafael is enough to make him risk his heart again.
Rafael 'Rafe' Ramirez wakes up in the hospital, the victim of a hit-and-run. He is shocked when the first face he sees is that of the man who betrayed him and left him for dead three years ago. Witness protection has robbed Rafe of his family and friends, and now it seems his sacrifice to bring his uncle to justice was for nothing.
Someone wants Rafe dead, and the only way he can stay alive is to partner with the murderous drug dealer who broke his heart. But how can he ever trust Deacon, and how can Deacon protect Rafe without falling in love all over again?
