Notorious bad boy Alexander Lytton hasnt known peace since destroying his privileged life to become Britains most hated man. When Josiah arrests Alex for murder, the last thing he expects is to fall in love…
London, 2095. Sixty years after rising seas drowned the old world, a corrupt system of servitude keeps the new one afloat.
Josiah leads a double life. At work, he tracks down killers with ruthless efficiency. At home, hes falling apart as he talks to his dead husband. His frozen existence is turned upside down when a celebrity is murdered, and all evidence points to the victims servant—the beautiful but enigmatic Alexander Lytton.
Everyone is convinced of Alexs guilt except Josiah, who finds himself drawn to the sharp-witted young man. He knows Alex is hiding something, but is it murder or an even darker secret?
Haunted by memories of his husbands last moments, Josiah is running on empty as he tries to solve the case. As he slowly unravels, he finds an unlikely source of comfort—in the arms of his prime suspect.
But in a drowned world where servants are property, falling for Alex could cost him everything. Can he trust instincts numbed by grief, or is he being seduced by a master manipulator?
