Blurb

What do you do when the only person you've ever truly wanted belongs to someone else?

Oliver

My entire life has been a lie, only existing as a sliver of my true self; shame, guilt, and loneliness eating away at me with the knowledge I can never be honest about what I want most in life. Until, by chance, I meet someone I can't resist, and I do something I never thought I would do. It's been ingrained in me since I was a child that who I am is not acceptable. That's why I'm dating a woman. That's why I tell myself I am content marrying a woman. But the gorgeous, outgoing boy behind the counter of the bar I end up at has me questioning everything I thought I had learned to live with.

Hunter

When I return home from college and discover that the man I slept with three months ago is the same man who is engaged to my mom, my world turns upside down. I haven't been able to get the sexy British man out of my head since our steamy encounter, and I never thought I would see him again, least of all in my childhood home. I'm furious, heartbroken, and determined to keep the older man at bay, until Oliver reveals some things about himself that have my heart softening towards him, and confesses that he hasn't been able to stop thinking about me either.
