While Roan's ex, Diego "Dee" Cole, warns against falling for the infected Paris, a man doomed to die, Roan struggles with his attraction and the knowledge that no happily ever after is possible for them. But is the knowledge enough to discourage him from following his heart? Roan helps Paris out of homelessness, and maybe a special hospital can help Paris with the infection, but Roan's got his hands full with this case, and there's no end in sight. (Prequel to the Infected series.)
