Em’s relationship with Penn is going remarkably well. Even with the hassles of Em’s lascivious best friend and Penn’s demanding job, they’ve managed to build what could possibly be something long-lasting. Unfortunately for Em, every time life seems to flow right, the wrong always hits.
Penn admits dating Em isn’t easy. Many people would steer clear of the emotional baggage. But once Penn glimpses the man behind the unseen scars, he’s a goner. Not one to mince words, and because his boyfriend needs to hear it, Penn makes sure Em knows how he feels every day…even if Em isn’t ready to return the sentiment.
Then, with one surprise phone call, Penn finally learns why Em doesn’t share his heart easily. When someone is never given emotional security, how can they possibly know how to feel it, to reciprocate it? That’s okay. Penn is a tenacious man with one chief purpose right now—to give Em a chance to love.
