Contemporary M/M romance; police procedural

Crime scene investigator Yohan Maurel has never been a demonstrative man, but he is quietly happy in his new arrangement with private security expert Salvatore Oakes. Over the past six months, their relationship has been going better than Yohan ever would have hoped, and he's confident Oakes feels the same way.



He has returned to mountain rescue volunteering, his team of forensic investigators is successfully closing cases, and it's the height of summer in the Arve valley—a summer Yohan intends to enjoy with Oakes.



But when an Alpine glacier gives up the body of a long-lost hiker, one of Oakes' exes shows up at the crime scene. As the investigation progresses, Yohan begins to question whether he and Oakes can truly be what the other needs. He finds himself juggling the case, his own desires--and the unnerving, amazing reality of being entrusted with Oakes' unguarded heart.
