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?

Fire Triangle

Sebastian was suddenly aware of Houston and his confusion but he couldn’t focus on him, his attention wholly fixed on the TV. People might not see the likeness right away—he was, after all, much older now—but sooner or later they would see him and remember the picture on TV. Worse, his face would be all over the town tomorrow morning in every newspaper. He started to tremble. Not from fear but from fury. Who might have realized who he was?


“I’ve got to go,” he said tersely, throwing a twenty on to the table as he walked away. He just hoped that Houston wouldn’t see his picture on the TV and connect it to him right away.
