Devil and the Deep Blue Fish
by Amy Lane

PI Jackson Rivers and Henry Worrall have gotten used to throwing themselves into danger as a team, so when Henry is hurt badly one night defending a friend and her teenage ward, it's all hands on deck for Jackson, his fiancé Ellery Cramer, their firm, and their friends. Henry is battling for his life. The least they can do is hunt down Henry's shooter and keep the intended victims safe.

Knowing Jackson will dedicate himself to tracking down a very dangerous assailant with no regard to his own safety, Ellery makes one stipulation: Jackson needs a temporary partner. Jackson finds a good one in someone from the firm's past, but while Jackson'sfiguring out a new rhythm on zero sleep and a lot of desperation, Ellery and their friends are putting together a puzzle with a lot more pieces than Henry'srandom shooting. Somebody in their city is preying on teenagers in a most insidious way, and nobody in their circle is going to let this stand.

Jackson has spent a year and a half trying to heal from physical and emotional wounds, and this case is going to make him look at every choice he's made to survive. Elleryand Ellery'smotherwill do anything to help him, but does Jackson finally have emotional defenses to fight his own demons while he'sslaying dragons for the family he'sfound, or will he drown in his own remorse? Sometimes, when you'rea kid on the streets, living past tomorrow means choosing between the Devil and the Deep Blue Fish.

Amy Lane's Bio

Amy Lane has two kids who are mostly grown, two kids who aren’t, three cats, and two Chi-who-whats at large. She lives in a crumbling crapmansion with most of the children and a bemused spouse. She also has too damned much yarn, a penchant for action adventure movies, and a need to know that somewhere in all the pain is a story of Wuv, Twu Wuv, which she continues to believe in to this day! She writes fantasy, urban fantasy, and gay romance—and if you accidentally make eye contact, she’ll bore you to tears with why those three genres go together. She’ll also tell you that sacrifices, large and small, are worth the urge to write.
