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?

“Huh,” Miles said, impressed. “That’s fabulous.”


“Thank you,” Jeff said, smiling as he sat behind a dark mahogany table. “Please, take a seat.” He nodded as Miles and Blake sat down across the table from him. “Now, what do you want to know about Devin, and why?”


Jeff listened to Miles and Blake’s account with growing unease, which quickly turned into anger and disbelief. “Are you implying that Devin had something to do with the destruction of his house, and the murder of his entire family?”
