While investigating a house fire, Detective Miles Tucker uncovers a similar case twenty years prior. Digging deeper, Miles learns that a survivor from the earlier fire might have some answers to his questions. As a boy, Devin Treadwell survived a fire that wiped out his entire family. The trauma he suffered left him in a mental institution, but he has since made a full recovery and, though partially deaf and mute, now lives an independent life as a music teacher. Devin's life is disrupted when the handsome Miles suspects him of being a serial arsonist. But he wasn't the only survivor. A boy named Sebastian who had been adopted by Devon's family also survived the blaze. Then an attempt is made on Devin's life. Can Miles keep Devin safe from an arsonist who will stop at nothing to silence him? Or will the attraction between them jeopardize the investigation?

When finally the door to Sister Angelica’s room was opened, Sebastian jumped from his chair. The nun came out with Debra and Ted. Smiling, Ted said to Sebastian, “Let’s go home now, boy.”


Sebastian leaped up and put his arms around Ted’s neck, clinging like he’d never let go.


“I’m so happy for you, Sebastian.” Sister Angelica patted his back. He tensed at the touch, gritting his teeth. He was getting away from her, out of this cursed place, never coming back again. He would spend his life with Ted because he knew that they belonged to each other.


Except that they did not. Debra cleared her throat behind him and, reluctantly, Sebastian released his grip on Ted’s neck and slid down from him. He turned around and hugged her, too, though not with the same enthusiasm as he had hugged Ted. If Debra noticed, she didn’t say anything.
