A Simple Mistake (The Power of Zero Book 5)

Between building a life together and protecting the ones they love most, Jack and Gareth thought they had finally cleared the path to peace. But in the world of high-stakes justice, a quiet summer is a luxury they cannot afford. What begins as a seemingly routine death demands investigation, exposing a trail of secrets that refuse to stay buried. While balancing the mundane chaos of birthday party planning and seasonal work, the couple is pulled in opposite directions. A predatory dance coach creates turmoil closer to home, while a desperate entreaty sends Jack all the way to Tokyo. As their professional obligations collide with their personal lives, the thin veneer of security they’ve cultivated begins to crack. This latest chapter in the Power of Zero series proves that for Jack and Gareth, doing the right thing is rarely easy. When an unexpected threat targets their found family, they are forced to confront the haunting ghosts of their pasts. Imbued with gripping suspense and deep emotional resonance, A Simple Mistake explores how far two men will go to shield their loved ones, and whether their bond is strong enough to withstand an enemy determined to tear it all down.
