Ghost has spent his life surviving—alone, hustling, and always one step ahead of danger. But when a job goes sideways, he’s forced to trust someone he never saw coming: Duncan Rook, a by-the-book cop with a body built for sin and a moral compass that doesn’t bend.
Duncan knows better than to get involved with a criminal, especially one as sharp-tongued and magnetic as Ghost. But when the lines between protector and partner blur, Duncan starts imagining outcomes that end not in handcuffs—but in kisses.
As their bond deepens and the threat closes in, loyalty, desire, and justice collide.
Rough Trade is a slow-burn, high-stakes M/M romantic suspense full of grit, heart, and unexpected tenderness—because sometimes, love shows up in the unlikeliest places.
