In order to bust porn king James Talbert and keep him from hurting any more young gay men, Detective Sean O’Brian is going undercover in Talbert’s mansion. Sean’s partner, both on and off the job, Nick Valenti, has been against Sean’s undercover mission from the start. So when Sean’s in trouble, Nick doesn’t hesitate to try and save him. Only now they’re both in danger, and even if they get out alive, they may never be the same.

When Sean and Nick were introduced in The Assignment, they were straight guys being forced to pretend they were lovers. As if acting as gay lovers was not bad enough, they had to be into BDSM as well. In Heart and Soul Nick and Sean’s relationship has progressed into a loving partnership both on and off the clock. There is nothing contrived about how they feel about each other. Their relationship is genuine and natural and very tender. Just like The Assignment though, the scenario that plays out is designed solely for the purpose of seeing them have sex under duress.  The traumatizing event that befalls them is similar to the previous one, but it makes Sean and Nick stronger as a couple and even hotter in bed than before. Heart and Soul is heart-wrenching and heartfelt.
