When by-the-book meets off-the-record, the story's just starting . . .

Special Agent Ty Grady is pretty sure he's about to get fired. His last perp skipped town before he could make an arrest, leaving him with a lot of means and precious few ends. When he's called into the boss's office, he expects the worst. And he isn't exactly wrong.

Chained to a desk in cybercrimes, Special Agent Zane Garrett dots his i's and crosses his t's. He doesn't have much of a choice in the matter—his record can't handle another black mark. When he learns he's getting reassigned, he doesn't miss the ironic pronunciation on “promotion.” Wherever he's going, it's nowhere good.

When they're partnered to solve a series of murders, their chances of success look low. They're fantastic agents, but the case seems more like a punishment than an assignment. They can't stop driving each other crazy. . . and not just in a bad way. This killer already took out the previous agents assigned to the case, and it's not long before he's on Ty and Zane's trail, as well. They'll have to set their frustrations aside, before it's too late.

Their romance is entering rough waters.

After almost dying on their hiking trip, Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have a moratorium on the word vacation. This makes it hard to discuss their newest case: an undercover operation aboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean. Their mission is to collect information by posing as Corbin and Del Porter, a pair of wealthy international smugglers who also happen to be happily married.

It takes less acting than either man expects, and not just because both smugglers are out and proud. Del is a coddled trophy husband with a penchant for short shorts, while Corbin is possessive and jealous, happiest with cards in one hand and an expensive drink in the other. As they settle into their roles, the lines around what's pretend and what's real begin to blur.

Even undercover, “Corbin” and “Del” have big problems. They have an enemy aboard the ship, though whether it's their criminal connections, the authorities, or some mysterious third party isn't clear. No one on this ship trusts anyone else, and if Ty and Zane can't change that, they're going to end up dead.

The last place these men want to be is in the limelight.

Law enforcement in Baltimore has a PR problem. Robberies, bombings, and violent crimes are on the rise. The public wants something done, and even the FBI is catching blame. When Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett accidentally become the handsome faces of the counter-offense, they find themselves the center of attention from the media . . . and a dangerous band of criminals.

Being respectable is busy work, and the added attention makes it harder than ever to keep their blossoming relationship a secret. Neither man is quite sure where they stand, or where they want to stand. Zane can't seem to say those three little words, and Ty is too mired in his past to notice.

The bombings throughout the city are getting worse. Without any leads, Ty and Zane find themselves taking their frustrations out on each other. Being together in the shadows but hiding in the spotlight is one more stressor when they're already taxed to the limit. As a mysterious bomber closes in, it starts to look like neither they nor their relationship has much hope for survival.

they don't take their shot, they may miss out on each other.

When Special Agent Zane Garrett is tapped as backup for an undercover operation in Chicago, the last person he's expecting to see is Ty Grady. Ty—Zane's partner, in every sense of the word—had vanished from Zane's bed, leaving nothing but a note. He'd been radio silent ever since.

Before they can work out what's going on between them, they have to collect a particularly challenging mark. Julian Cross is a retired hit man and CIA operative with a wide array of specialized skills, and he's currently using all of them to achieve a singular goal: get away from Ty and Zane. Luckily, the two agents have an ace in the hole. Julian will go quietly as long as his boyfriend, the doe-eyed Cameron Jacobs, is brought along for protection.

Julian retired to love Cameron in the open, and watching the two of them is putting thoughts in Ty's head. He's tired of keeping his partnership with Zane a secret. As the four of them are chased across the country by a cadre of mysterious killers, their friends and family are pulled into the crosshairs as well. Ty and Zane will have to decide where their priorities lie, before it's too late.
