Detective Raleigh Vance has seen staged bodies before. Never one this patient. The victim is Chloe Montgomery, twenty-one, a senator's daughter, and every clean, bloodless inch of the scene is saying the same thing: this was not rage. It was craft.

My goal is to be strong and get built. Falling for my gorgeous, straight gym bro is against all the rules. I realize I’m unapologetically, flamboyantly gay. My board game buddies accept me as I am.
