When runaway Kip Faulkner was seventeen, he witnessed two men commit a murder. Fear kept him from telling Sheriff Long the truth about what he'd seen. Guilt made him turn his life around. Eleven years later, he's the owner of a reputable private investigation agency in Denver. John Rigby looks like a typical biker, tattoos and all. But Kip discovers he’s the antithesis of that stereotype when he hires John to work for his agency. When Kip learns about a recent killing exactly like the one he witnessed and recognizes one of the killers in a blurry photo on the news, he vows to find out how the two murders are connected ... and if there have been more. With John's help, can he learn the truth behind the murders while the two men fight their mutual attraction? Or will Kip become the next victim?

The Agency

Kip chuckled. “Not really.” He sobered. “It’s…I feel guilty. I should have told Sheriff Long what I saw, but I was a kid and scared shitless that if I did, they’d find me. Not a great excuse, but the truth. I’ve already told you all of that. I thought about it a lot at first but in time, as I began to create a new life, it sort of faded into a bad memory after I convinced myself telling him wouldn’t have stopped the killings. They’d just have sent someone else if Parker and his buddy were arrested. Then Alexander was murdered and the cops had Parker’s picture. I could have come forward then but what good would it have done, other than to connect his killing with Constantine’s.”


“So you decided to do some detective work on your own instead. I get that. Hell, I’ve been helping you.”
