Gabe - Riley Evie

An investigation goes awry.

Their world gets turned upside down.

Embers ignite in close proximity.

FBI Agent Gabe Long finds himself reluctantly assigned to keep an eye on Sebastian Roth after the detective meets with a couple of too-related-to-be-coincidental "accidents." He isn't too happy about having to play babysitter to a stubborn, impulsive, and relentless investigator who won't let go of a dangerous pedophile ring case, but the man has clearly gotten himself into some hot water.

Frankie Zolnai is a skilled physical therapist known for his compassion and commitment to his patients. His warm smile and gentle demeanor create a safe space for those in need of healing. At the request of his best friend, Newt, Frankie agrees to provide PT to Sebastian after an accident leaves Sebastian injured.

Gabe and Frankie's paths cross and as the two connect over their shared medical knowledge, sparks fly. As the two men get to know each other, Gabe reveals things about his past very few people know. Frankie quickly becomes a person Gabe can count on to be there-a rare thing for Gabe.

Gabe wasn't looking for love, but that might just be what found him-in the most interesting of ways.
