Zane has dreams of becoming a crime reporter, and he's spent months following the trail of bodies that seem to surround the Mulvaneys and their partners. When he encounters Asa at an event, he thinks he's found his in. But Zane is in for way, way more than he bargained for.
When discovering the Mulvaney family secret - they're the psychopath sons of an eccentric (and apparently very handsome) billionaire who take out the trash that slip through the criminal justice cracks - he doesn't expect things to hit so close to home. But they do, and Zane has to rely on Asa to get him through.
Zane leans heavily on Asa. Asa keeps him going, keeps him from spiraling. He also keeps him rather blood thirsty. Zane's brother was the victim of a sick and twisted game run by sick and twisted people (even by Mulvaney standards). And Zane won't rest until they're all taken out. And Asa won't rest until Zane gets his closure.
The start of their relationship is a little rough around the edges, but they soon build a foundation on communication and honesty. Zane communicates his needs, and Asa communicates his desires. They find a balance that works for them. And they make it work. Zane even manages to win over Asa's twin, Avi, who is more territorial of Asa than anyone else. And considering Avi's fixation with Jericho's brother, Felix, whatever lies ahead for the four of them is bound to be intense.
