Incident of Magic — Kris Michaels

Sold at the age of twelve to support his mother's drug habit and rescued from a life on the streets by a cop, thirty-two-year old Tony Locke had had a brutal start in life. He'd risen to the position of homicide detective in the Everlight Police Department -- a testament to his intelligence and driving ambition to help other victims of Everlight's prolific industry in sex and drugs. With his promotion to the hush-hush Interdimensional Task Force, he could broaden his reach -- if he could just get along with his a-hole of a partner. Leo Fortan labored under a soul-crushing burden of sacrifice, trapped in a lonely and rigid existence. Hand-picked from that existence and assigned to the Interdimensional Task Force, he thought his life had taken a turn for the better -- until he met his partner, Tony Locke. Leo thought it probable they would kill each other. For a man who thought love didn't exist and a man who'd sacrificed everything for it, finding common ground may require more than an incident of magic.
