[Hot Summer Nights 01] • South Beach

For Pablo Santiago and Logan Barker, rest and respite wasn’t just a gift. Taking time off was a requirement. Detectives in the gritty Chicago Police Department, they’d seen their share of horrors during their tenure. After a brutal case drew both men into the line of fire, questioning not only their commitment but also their honor, they were forced to take a leave as an ongoing investigation could possibly determine their future. Exhausted and ready for some fun in the sun, they headed for South Beach together, simply to split expenses. After all, they were best friends – nothing more.

Little did they know the wild nightlife and sun kissed days were the perfect incubator, allowing the men to explore their hidden desires – something they’d both ignored for years. After one hot summer night they opened up to each other, telling each other their darkest secrets. Unfortunately, one man was hiding behind a mask so tightly veiled his past threatened all they knew and believed in. Was the challenge too great to overcome?
