Back Cover Blurb

Detective Liam Turner’s daily goals are the same: drink coffee, don’t pass out, find the killer, water tomatoes, remember to take his binder off, go to sleep. When he fails task two at the scene of a crime, the prickly Dr. Sanal MacTavish helps him out of the mud. They proceed to shove a mug of masala tea into his hands and bully him into taking care of himself. Over autopsies, murdered women, nonconsensual drugging and more tea, Liam finds himself falling for the aroace Dr. MacTavish. After making several reckless choices, Liam finds his killer – just in time for the killer to find Liam.

 

This atypical queer romance features queer characters of color and themes of mental health and self-care. Join Liam as he learns what it means to heal from your past and look forward to the future.
