Detective Ryan Ashton wasn't sure what was happening between them. One minute they were taking down bad guys, and then the next, they were falling into each other's arms. Ashton doesn't do relationships, but Clemmons made his heart expand to the point of pain with warmth. It was dangerous, what they had. Clemmons was on the wrong side of the law, and Ashton wasn't about to give up his job as a detective for a wanted criminal. Clemmons was the devil himself, and Ashton couldn't afford to get wrapped up in this mess. Yet, whenever they saw each other, he did. There was no way they could have a normal relationship. Clemmons was strictly off-limits. Which would have been easy if only his body and his heart didn't have other ideas.
Now they've been found out and are on the run from the US government, shunned by all. Forced to flee, they must join hands with the kingpin, their journey leading them right to Russia and straight into the kingpin's arms. Ashton doesn't have the strength to fight anymore, but everything changes when Clemmons goes missing. He will need every ounce of his resolve to defeat the kingpin and bring Clemmons home again. Can they navigate the new spheres of their relationship, or will everything be burnt to ash in the raging fire of their desires?
