Gawin knows this better than anyone, from a father who never spared him a second glance to a husband who married him out of duty rather than love. At twenty-three, he's learned to swallow his love like bitter medicine, to exist in silence, to disappear even when standing right in front of someone. Joss has always been too busy chasing distant affections to notice the man already by his side. And there, he realizes that some people are destined to be loved, while others are destined to be forgotten.
