Description
In work and in love, life has taught seasoned police officer Jack that closeness only leads to pain. But Jack is wracked with guilt when his rookie partner Kevin is shot during an undercover assignment and dies in his arms. Why didn''t he take the time to get to know the rookie a little? At the funeral, Jack takes a liking to Kevin''s brother, Devin. But Jack knows making a connection can cause more hurt, and living on opposite coasts is an added obstacle. With his brother dead, Devin feels a responsibility to Kevin''s pregnant widow, Marie. He packs up and moves east, only to have Marie, outraged that he''s put his life on hold, slam the door in his face. Devin turns to the only other person he knows in town. As much as it goes against his philosophies on life, Jack takes him in without hesitation. Their tentative exploration into romance is interrupted when Devin is mistaken for his dead brother and taken captive. Just as Jack opens his heart, reality slams into him. But he can''t lose anyone else. More than the need to simply save a captive drives Jack to find Devin and bring him home.
