Deputy Soren Jorgensen has a single regret - getting involved with bad boy Dany Petyr. Dany had warned him off, but for the first time in his life, Soren let his heart take the lead, and he'll never be the same.

He is offered a fresh start in a new town. He won't make the same mistake again. Then Dany materializes smack in the middle of a case, turning Soren's tidy world upside down.

A new start leads them both straight into trouble.

Dany regrets hurting Soren. But if he could go back in time he'd make the same decision. His history is too toxic for a man like Soren.

A local resort owner is murdered and tensions on the island rise, along with accusations. Will Dany run again, or can Soren convince him to stay this time and face the danger head-on, together?

Real Trouble is the first in the West Coast Forensics series and features second chance, redemption, and grumpy-sunshine tropes.
