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?

“Hey, baby, what’s wrong? They told me they wouldn’t be finished until four. It’s only three-fifteen.”


Mom, please,he signed, trying his hardest to convey urgency in his gestures. He ran off ahead of his mother, praying that she’d do as he asked.


She did, looking at him from time to time with worry in her eyes as she drove to George’s house. The minute they reached there, he leaped out of the car and pounded at the front door, running up the stairs to George’s bedroom as soon as the door was opened.


Josh, George, and Sebastian were sitting on the floor with opened books in front of them and all three looked up at him curiously when he shoved the door open.
