About this listen
Years of grueling police work have left Niall Hamarsson jaded and disillusioned with life...although it’s likely he’s been that way all along. The last straw lands when the DA refuses to try a case Niall worked for years to bring to justice. Within hours he finds himself heading to the only place he’s ever been able to call home - a place he knows he doesn’t belong.
Mat Dempsey returned to Piedras Island after his father’s death. These days he’s Island County’s sheriff. He’s happy enough, even if moving home from San Francisco effectively forced him back into the closet. Mat’s well-ordered universe collapses when a local’s body is discovered floating in the cold waters of Hidden Harbor’s marina. All hell breaks loose in the community, and accusations fly...all coinciding with Niall Hamarsson’s return.
Niall and Mat have a history, and it’s not one Mat’s proud of. He owes Niall an apology, even if it means getting down on his knees. However, Mat’s first priority is investigating the murder before his community tears itself apart and he may have to ask the aloof Niall Hamarsson for help.
Push apart, pull together, yes or no...The chemistry crackles between them but will the two men be able to put aside their pasts and embrace a future?
Maybe.

Intriguing murder-mystery with a dash of romance!
Homocide detective Niall Hamarsson is sick of life in Seattle and heads to Piedras, one of the San Juan Islands, to restore his childhood home. Piedras Island Sheriff Mat Dempsey is starting to wish he’d never run for office: a young woman’s body has been found, some islanders want to form a posse because someone *may* have seen a wolf, livestock shot dead on farms may escalate into a feud, and the sexy, antagonistic Hamarsson insists on “helping” him with the murder. This slow burn police-procedural romance was exactly my cup of tea. While the dual POV narrative shadowed Niall and Mat, I liked that solving the case was the primary focus with the romance as a by-product of their close contact - it felt more natural. There were occasional flashes of humour but the tone was mostly sombre and that also felt very realistic. The islander population is large enough to have some interesting characters yet still retain that small town vibe where everyone knows everyone else’s business. That all bodes well for a long and satisfying series! Audio narrator / legend Michael Dean used his trademark growly voice for these two manly men!
