Weight of Ruin by Vin Ashmore

He pulled him out of a cage. He should have left it at that.

Zain Rashid doesn’t save people anymore. The former Detroit cop turned his back on a broken system and built something better – a crew of ex-military, ex-law enforcement operatives who hunt human traffickers in the ruins of a city that forgot how to protect its own. He’s efficient. Methodical. Cold.

Then he cuts the lock on the last cage in a Delray warehouse and finds Seth – starving, shaking, and ready to fight anyone who touches him.
Seth doesn’t do grateful.

Four months of debt bondage couldn’t kill him. Neither could the pills, the prison time, or the years of sleeping in places no one should sleep. He’s been invisible his whole life, and he’s not interested in being someone’s rescue story. What he wants is purpose. What he wants is in – into the crew, into the work, into the war Zain is waging against the people who caged him.

What he wants is Zain. Even if wanting him is the most dangerous thing he’s ever done.
Zain has one rule: don’t get attached.
Seth breaks it the first time he opens his mouth.

As Lakefront Logistics closes in on a trafficking network with connections to Detroit PD, Zain and Seth are pulled deeper into a conspiracy that threatens everything the crew has built. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to keep their hands off each other – and the more Seth proves he’s not content to stay on the sidelines.

He’s not a victim. He’s not a liability. And when the blood starts flowing, he’ll prove it.
