Oli could leave his tiny, claustrophobic home town any time he wants. So if he stays, he can't be unhappy, right?
Even though nobody knows he's gay, not even his family.
Even though the 26-year-old has to sneak to the city to meet guys, and never for anything more than the most casual of hookups.
And certainly despite Flynn, his childhood best friend, escaping first and leaving Oli behind. Definitely not that.
A disastrous reunion has Oli's world fraying at the seams, but he's not the only one struggling. Turns out Flynn's got skeletons of his own, and his "perfect" life is now more facade than fairy-tale.
When their secrets unexpectedly collide one night, the two men must reckon with history's shadow over a connection neither may be ready to acknowledge.
Old wounds meet fresh betrayals, in this high-heat m/m romance about the lies we tell of ourselves and the stories we believe about others.
