What happens when the man of your dreams makes your heart race… but loving him might break you?
Mark knew from the first moment that Sam could be everything. Beautiful, mysterious, aching for connection—Sam is the kind of man who could ruin Mark for anyone else. But Sam doesn’t need romance. He needs a friend, someone steady enough to stand beside him.
Mark can do that. At least, that’s what he tells himself. Until one touch, one look too long, and he realizes he’s already fallen.
Hopelessly, helplessly, completely.
Sam’s life is a maze of secrets and tangled loyalties. Love? That’s a fantasy for other people, not for someone like him. But then Mark walks in. Warm, loyal, unshakably kind—and everything Sam never dared to want.
If this were a fairy tale, Mark would sweep Sam away and promise him forever. But fairy tales don’t come true… do they?
Sometimes love isn’t about saving someone. Sometimes it’s about showing them they’re worth saving.
Two men. One impossible connection. And a love so powerful, it might just rewrite both their stories.
Warning – these pages show the aftermath of domestic violence, but not the act.
