For premed student and all-around good boy Tobias Benton in Sidney Bell's Hard Line, atoning for the one mistake in his past is a full-time job. But when someone he cares about goes missing, Tobias refuses to sit idly by, even if it means sending his well-ordered life off the rails. Tobias blackmails smart-mouthed, tattooed private detective Sullivan Tate into helping him search for his friend, and that's only the beginning of Tobias's rebellions. Soon he's blowing the lid off of old family secrets, skipping out on his classes, and flirting with a man who has a taste for domination — not to mention a good reason to stab him in the back. If he isn't careful, Tobias is going to learn just what happens when a good boy goes bad . . .
