Deacon's Law (Heroes 3)

An undercover cop who walked away. A betrayed lover with a target on his back. This time, survival means facing the past—and fighting for forever.

Undercover cop Deacon Shepherd sacrificed everything to protect the man he loved—his career, his future, and his heart. Walking away was the only way to keep Rafael alive. He stayed in the shadows for three long years, knowing the truth would never set him free.

Until now.

A brutal hit-and-run leaves Rafael "Rafe" Ramirez fighting for his life, and when he wakes up in the hospital, the first face he sees is the last man he ever expected—Deacon, the man who betrayed him, the man he thought was dead.

Rafe gave up everything to take down his uncle’s cartel. Witness protection stole his name, his family, and his past. But someone wants him erased for good, and his only chance at survival is trusting the man who destroyed him.

Deacon never thought he'd see Rafe again, let alone have to fight to keep him breathing. But with assassins closing in, old enemies hunting them, and a love that refuses to die, he has one shot to make it right.

Because this time, walking away isn’t an option. This time, he’ll fight to the end—even if it costs him everything.
