This is a well written m/m mystery. I never expected who it was that was threatening those kids and I definitely didn't expect Jeff's partner to be gay as well. Or his relationship dynamics with Daniel or at least the hints of it that we get.Jeff is lonely his one relationship in the past has made him shy away from them that and he is a detective. So when he wants companionship he goes to clubs. Hoping to get his needs met, he meets Alex. Alex is not his type but for some reason he gets to Jeff. They hit it off immediately but agree to a one night moment.This one night sticks with Jeff and he can't forget Alex meanwhile the case he and his partner Parker (the rough tempered detective) has now involved threats to children with disabilities that all go to the same school. I immediately thought Principal when I read what a stiff man he was. Wrong.Alex can't get Jeff out of his mind either. They see each other again and it doesn't go so well. Well it does but Jeff's trust issues come into play when Alex gets a call and Jeff misunderstands. This does come back to bite him in the butt though for Alex is on the list of family member's who was hurt that is disabled. Imagine the surprise when they see each other again. Didn't go over to well. Especially when Jeff couldn't hide how uncomfortable he was around Alex's brother. To his credit it is just his prejudice but that he is that way around all children. the threat is there though to Alex's brother and Jeff goes into protection mode. Alex and Jeff have a bumpy ride during the investigation. Sean the brother begins to like Jeff and Jeff starts to come to terms with the brother as well even begins to like him as well.My favorite moment in the water when Jeff goes back for Alex. Awww....Swooning. He actually ends up outing himself. But so worth the beautiful moment. In trouble for it but worth the moment.a intriguing mystery with a element of love that shows you can find it when least expecting to and how much you protect those you care for. A great read.
