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?

“Yeah, I think you should.” Miles met Devin’s eyes. “I’m sorry if it’s hard for you, but we need to trace Sebastian.”


“Okay,” Miles echoed. He squeezed Devin’s shoulder and left for the kitchen to make the phone call to the orphanage.


Devin’s eyes followed Miles’ back as he retreated to the kitchen. He wasn’t thinking of the call Miles was about to make or wondering why Miles had to make it in the kitchen. Devin’s mind was stuck instead on the brief squeeze Miles gave to his shoulder. His hand had felt like a brand on Devin’s skin through his layers of T-shirt and sweatshirt and the feeling had not gone away.
