A brutal killer. An unwitting witness. A cop caught in the middle of a deadly pursuit.

Jude Kalvert is glad to be back in his home city and playing gigs around his favourite bars. Blyham is a dangerous place, and things only seem to have gotten worse in the time he’s been away. It’s not safe to be out alone at night but when Jude runs into an old school friend after one of his shows, things don’t so seem bad after all.

Danyal Nadir has changed a lot since they knew each other. He’s cop for one thing, newly appointed to act as liaison between the police and the LGBTQ+ community. And he’s come a long way from the shy, bullied kid Jude remembers from school. The adult Danyal is strong, confident and very attractive. Both men jump at the change to get reacquainted.

But that first night is not a safe as it appears. Jude discovers that he’s one of the last people to have seen a murder victim alive. Soon the killer has Jude and Danyal in their sights. On the run and desperate there’s no limit to what he’ll do. As their friendship turns to passion, their new beginning could be the end of them.
