Years of grueling police work have left Niall Hamarsson jaded and disillusioned with life…although it’s likely he’s been that way all along. The last straw lands when the DA refuses to try a case Niall worked for years to bring to justice. Within hours he finds himself heading to the only place he’s ever been able to call home—a place he knows he doesn’t belong.

Mat Dempsey returned to Piedras Island after his father’s death. These days he’s Island County’s sheriff. He’s happy enough, even if moving home from San Francisco effectively forced him back into the closet. Mat’s well-ordered universe collapses when a local’s body is discovered floating in the cold waters of Hidden Harbor’s marina. All hell breaks loose in the community, and accusations fly…all coinciding with Niall Hamarsson’s return.Niall and Mat have a history, and it’s not one Mat’s proud of. He owes Niall an apology, even if it means getting down on his knees. However, Mat’s first priority is investigating the murder before his community tears itself apart and he may have to ask the aloof Niall Hamarsson for help.

Push apart, pull together, yes or no... The chemistry crackles between them but will the two men be able to put aside their pasts and embrace a future?
Maybe.

Thanks for stopping by, I’m Elle Keaton and I hail from the northwest corner of the US where we are known for rain, rain and more rain. I write the Accidental Roots series, set here in the Pacific Northwest featuring hot mm romance and the guarantee of a happy ending for my men. They start out broken, and maybe they end up that way too, but they always find the other half of their hearts.

I started writing way back when but only began publishing about two and a half years ago and now have nine books out. Each features a couple in my little universe, sometimes there is added mystery and suspense.

Thank you for supporting this Indie Author,

Angst, angst, and... oh yea, angst.

I think this is one of the author's best books, and that's quite a challenge considering how much I loved her Accidental Roots series. This book is one I will definitely be reading again.

Who doesn't love a murder mystery with more twists and turns than a bag of curly fries?

There were a couple of times I wanted to tell the main characters to either cut their bullshit or put on boxing gloves, get into the ring and have at it. In the end, though, the two broken men do finally come together (in more ways than one) to solve the mystery.

I love the fact that Niall and Mat don't jump into bed or a relationship in the first couple of chapters of the book like a lot of other MM romance novels I've read.

The supporting characters are great, including one adorable puppy-dog.

5 out of 5 stars and a definite must read!
