The Case of the Dead Man's Ring: The Rainbow Detective Agency, Book 1

By: Field, Ryan

When Proctor Gamble loses everything, the last thing he expects to find is a reason to stay.

World-famous swimsuit model Proctor Gamble thought his biggest problem was tan lines-until his shady business manager vanishes with his fortune, leaving him broke and stuck with a handful of failing investments. One of them? A barely functioning private detective agency run by Blair Huntingdon, a smooth-talking, vintage-obsessed investigator with a thing for solving mysteries-and pushing Proctor's buttons.

Proctor wants to liquidate. Blair has other ideas-and he's not above using a mix of charm, sass, and a few well-placed slaps (and more) to change his new boss's mind.

Just when Proctor thinks he's done with the agency-and maybe Blair too-they stumble onto a corpse, a strange ring, and a trail that leads to a long-lost collection of paintings by a brilliant artist persecuted during World War II for being unapologetically gay.

As secrets unravel and danger closes in, Proctor and Blair are forced to rely on each other to survive. But with everything on the line-including the truth, the art, and their lives-will these two wildly different men find a way to protect what matters most?

Steamy, sharp, and full of unexpected heart, this queer mystery-romance is a wild ride through lust, lies, and the art of falling in love.
