He’s the reporter that’s supposed to make the community outreach program with the police work. They both expect a quiet couple of months, where neither one of them will get much at all from the other. Elijah is supposed to be looking for a story that will bring the corruption of the police force into light, but instead, he’s spending all his time with Robert Kilkenny and having fun, which was the last thing he expected. The two men start to become friends when Kilkenny finds a neglected child in a trap house at the upscale neighborhood he helps to protect. Elijah is there and sees everything.

Bonus Novel "Ray Ray and the Dirty Giants" From the dirty sludge gutters of Greenville, South Carolina comes the wild and rambunctious punk band, Ray Ray and the Dirty Giants! Their sound is a thrash punk that begs to be understood, each lyric screaming utter defiance against the white-collar system, an inspiration by the lead man's life living under white collar parents with backwards political views. Front and center is Ricky Charles, extraordinary on the guitar and talented with a pen. His drawings are a reflection of his true nature, hiding the emotions deep down that hardly ever surface...until he meets Nate Whitney. The humble bar owner happens to challenge Ricky's knowledge of himself, tossing him into a whirlwind of questions that threaten the fabric of his reality. Having grown up with a violently homophobic father, he is forced to consider the ramifications of kissing another man, knowing well that forgetting about it isn't the same as erasing it from reality. Nate makes Ricky incredibly happy, yet he battles the voice of his father in his brain telling him it's wrong. An inner war ensues where Ricky fights his emotions while also handling the forces outside of his body that are pushing in – the pressure of keeping his band together, the woes of financial burdens and the trouble of keeping up with a long-distance romance have been taking its toll. In addition, Nate is riddled with his own problems with his business and his ex-wife who still doesn't know about his current romantic status.
