description: Whoever said blood was thicker than water never stood in a pool of it.Retiring from stealing priceless treasures seemed like a surefire way for Rook Stevens to stay on the right side of the law. The only cop in his life should have been his probably-boyfriend Los Angeles Detective Dante Montoya but thats not how lifehis lifeis turning out. Instead Rook ends up not only standing in a puddle of his cousin Harolds blood but also being accused of Harolds murderand sleeping with Harolds wife.For Dante loving the former thief means his once-normal life is now a sea of chaos especially since Rook seems incapable of staying out of troubleor keeping trouble from following him home. When Rook is tagged as a murder suspect by a narrow-focused West L.A. detective Dante steps in to pull his lover out of the quagmire Rooks landed in. When the complicated investigation twists around on them the dead begin to stack up forcing the lovers to work together. Time isnt on their side and if they dont find the killer before another murder Dante will be visiting Rook in his prison cellor at his grave.
