Gio Valeri is a big city police officer who's been transferred to the small outback town of Richmond with his professional reputation in tatters. His transfer is a punishment, and Gio just wants to keep his head down and survive the next two years. No more mistakes. No more complications.

Except Gio isn't counting on Jason Quinn.

Jason Quinn, officer in charge of Richmond Station, is a single dad struggling with balancing the demands of shift work with the challenges of raising his son. The last thing he needs is a new senior constable with a history of destroying other people's careers. But like it or not, Jason has to work with Gio.

In a remote two man station hours away from the next town, Gio and Jason have to learn to trust and rely on each another. Close quarters and a growing attraction mean that the lines between professional and personal are blurring. And even in Richmond, being a copper can be dangerous enough without risking their hearts as well.

      Henry (Dark Space) attempts to balance the aesthetic of gruff masculine intimacy avoidance with sensitive good-guy backstories, and a sense of small-town behavioral morals with an utter lack of homophobia. The result, despite some touching moments, is an emotionally ambivalent and implausible story. Impulsive Australian police officer Giovanni Valeri, having ruined the career of a colleague and former lover in the big-city force by formally calling him on his lack of ethics, takes his punishment in the form of reassignment to a tiny outpost in Richmond, Queensland, where Sgt. Jason Quinn, living alone with his 10-year-old son, is the only other officer. The development of coworkers-with-benefits intimacy feels jagged, Gio’s adjustment to rural life is inauthentic, and the sex scenes are unevenly paced. But Henry does a good job of depicting small-town policing, and the scenes between Jason and his child have real warmth. Her willingness to seriously tackle the issue of domestic violence in contexts both straight (a family in the town) and queer (Gio and his ex) is admirable, but readers sensitive to the topic may not find the romantic payoff here worth wading through the somber depictions of abuse.
