J. C. Long Ordre des livres

Gabe Maxfield never wanted to be a detective or a policeman or anything of the sort. The closest he wanted to come to the law was writing legal briefs and doing research for a big-shot law firm. Nice and safe, and without all the stress. No unanswered questions, just well-defined legal precedents. When he moves to Hawaii in the wake of a disastrous breakup and betrayal by an ex, a murder investigation is the last thing he expects to get wrapped up in, but he can't help himself when a dead body, a hunky cop, and his best friend get involved. So much for sipping Mai Tais on the beach and admiring the well-tanned bodies around him.

Noah Potter has come to Hong Kong to find his missing sister, Lianne, who disappeared after leaving him a voice mail pleading for his help. Unfortunately the Hong Kong police are unwilling to help him, so Noah has to find her himself. Noah's search for his sister brings him across Wei Tseng, leader of the Dragons, a group of dedicated men and women willing to do whatever it takes to keep their district safe from the violence and triads that plague the rest of the city's underworld. Wei is a man of violence but also one of incredible compassion, and his history is one that resonates with Noah, igniting a passion neither man expects. Together they search for Lianne, a search that will lead right into a conflict with the Dragons' greatest rivals in the city.

Gabe Maxfield enjoys a stable life, having moved on from his troubled past in Seattle. He co-owns Paradise Investigations with his best friend Grace Park and is content in his relationship with his attractive neighbor, Maka Kekoa, who is also a police officer. The absence of danger in his life for weeks adds to his sense of peace and fulfillment.

Winston Chang admires the Dragons for protecting his community and aspires to join them. When a Dragon is killed, Winston's car expertise is needed to infiltrate the illegal racing scene, the Dark Streets. As he navigates danger, his friendship with Steel evolves, challenging them to confront both a killer and their emerging feelings.
