In the sweltering heat of a Savannah summer, a missing Civil War-era photo album sets two strangers on a collision course of danger, desire, and obsession.

Brock Charleston—a private investigator with a penchant for finding what shouldn't exist—is hired to recover the photo album after its seller is brutally murdered. The deeper he digs into Savannah's underground erotic world, the more the whispers start pointing toward one unlikely witness: Ronnie Barbarian, a queer tattooed cellist grieving her grandmother—and hiding a past she refuses to name.

Ronnie wants nothing to do with Brock or the violent world circling around her. Brock wants nothing to do with the sharp, magnetic pull he feels toward her. But when a second threat emerges, the two are forced together in a collision of grief, heat, and unraveling secrets.

Desire turns dangerous. Trust turns intimate. And the album—if it exists at all—may be worth killing for. But the hardest thing for Brock will be confronting the one thing he's never risked: wanting something for himself.
