Generosity has limits. Neighbors have boundaries. Ignoring both has fatal consequences.
Vinnie Briggs is in the crosshairs of a NY mobster since his testimony could put the boss behind bars. He does what any sensible person would do and runs three-thousand-miles, leaving behind his bodybuilder husband and their life.
A homeless, gay ballplayer and a precocious Boston terrier aren't enough to ease Vinnie's miserable exile in San Francisco. Serendipity brings new next-door neighbors: two women and one's pregnant.
Vinnie's good with kids and looks forward to helping the struggling couple. All's well until the pregnant woman confides that she was raped, yet refuses to reveal the rapist. Vinnie misconstrues her reticence, believing if he identifies the man it helps both neighbors.
Applying amateur sleuthing skills, Vinnie inadvertently reveals the woman's secret to the wrong people, leading to murder. When a second corpse shows up, he becomes the prime suspect. To exonerate himself, he must find the actual murderer. He didn't kill anyone but wishes he had.
The body count mounts. Vinnie must prevent more murders to have any chance of returning to his former life.
The second in the HOT series but can be read as a standalone.
