Italian Ice, author of gay romances Trent Copeland, and ex-FBI agent Reed Action take a vacation to Italy inspired by Rome. Reed’s not-so-former employer calls him to seek assistance with a case, ruining what was supposed to be a peaceful and romantic vacation. When Trent unlocks Reed’s mysteries, they find themselves in a remote group of old volcanic islands off the northern coast of Sicily. As they negotiate danger and passion, Reed is forced to make a decision that could destroy all he and Trent have worked so hard to achieve: choosing his duty above his emotions.
