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

There was a faint ping from the elevator and Sebastian held his breath. Here we go, he thought as he pulled back from the window and hid behind the door, clutching the fire extinguisher in both hands, ready to ambush anyone crossing the doorway.


A figure stepped in, a duffel bag in his hand. Sebastian waited until he was completely inside, then pushed the door closed behind the person, who belatedly turned around, eyes widening before the solid tube smacked the side of his head. He went down heavily, out cold instantly. Sebastian stopped for a moment admiring his work.


The tall detective would be coming in soon, and he mustn’t find Devin crumpled in the hall like this. Sebastian dragged Devin to the kitchen and shoved him into one of the lower cabinets. This time he didn’t grab the fire extinguisher. Instead, he picked up a large knife, holding it in a tight backhand grip. He was walking back to the front room when he heard the door open.
