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

It was as if several bombs had been set off at the same time, bombs that had been planted in every single inch of the apartment. Devin felt heat swallowing him up and fire start to lick at all the exposed parts of his skin. His mind went blank. This was it. This was his destiny. Finally, he felt the horror his family had experienced at the time of their deaths and now it was his turn. Darkness began to creep around his peripheral vision and suddenly he felt so light as if he no longer stood on the ground.


Miles ignored the stinging pain across his belly and struggled down the stairs with Devin slumped over his shoulder. The man became unconscious after he’d seemed to panic the moment the fire began to spread. It was no use for Miles to try to talk to him to urge that they had to get away as fast as they could. Carrying him down was the only way he could save them both. Devin had looked physically okay when he beat up Sebastian. Miles prayed he really was all right.
