INFERNO
108626 words
In Inferno, passion burns hotter than hell…
“I wept not, so to stone within I grew.” – Dante Alighieri
Step inside
Inferno and meet Dante Jardine, six feet four of satanic beauty indulging every
vice at his disposal.
An ex-cop, injured
on the job, Dante has buried all the grief and torment of his dark life in fire
and ice. He lives in a twilight world of sordid encounters that leave him cold.
When a notorious
rent boy is murdered in his nightclub, Dante finds his hellish world pried open
by in-the-closet Moonlight Cove cop Zack Stewart and his partner Angela Keaton,
his carefully constructed façade ripped away.
Zack loathes the arrogant nightclub owner from the moment he sets eyes on him. Dante is obstructive, disdainful and, he is sure, frozen all the way to the core. As he investigates, all roads lead back to Dante and he becomes Zack’s chief suspect.
“You don’t want to see what sort of man I am in the dead of night when I’m all alone.”
Soon it becomes apparent the cops are looking for a serial killer targeting gay men and Zack’s priorities become more muddled the longer he is around Dante. He finds himself walking a dangerous road between being a good cop and giving in to his growing desire…
“I don’t know what I’m going to do with you, Detective Stewart. You’re a thorn in my side but I’m not sure I want to try and dig you out.”
