Detective Ryan Ashton never thought that leaving Clemmons behind would be the most challenging task of his life. But he was a cop, a professional, and he would never allow something as inconsequential as feelings to obstruct his path. Clemmons was just a job, nothing more. He had executed his duty and dropped him off. However, complications escalated when the men intent on killing Clemmons still believed he was with Ashton. The situation worsened when Ashton discovered that Clemmons had gone missing, leaving behind only a trail of breadcrumbs leading back to the narcotics kingpin he thought was eliminated. Can Ashton bring Clemmons back alive, or will the opposing forces keep them apart?
