Finley and Harlyn have been doing long distance for four months. But Finley is moving back to England, and they're both excited and nervous for what that means. *** When Finley started his study abroad program at the beginning of the year, he never thought he'd be here - about to move back to England to finish out his degree and six months into a relationship with a beautiful boy. As with all good things in his life, he's worried it won't last and that something will happen to take this fragile happiness away. Harlyn is in the same boat. He's never been in a relationship for this long before, and he's nervous he's going to screw it up just as he has in the past. As the term unfolds with new challenges and new feelings, he's even more unsure of his ability to be a good boyfriend - the type of boyfriend that Finley deserves. Turns out, relationships are hard work. Will they be able to work through the troubles that come their way? (This is a fully written book, and will update every Monday and Thursday.)

He's also preparing to go into his last year of Uni and preparing for his life beyond school.

But when Harlyn Evans shows up in his life, he brings a whole lot of goodness - and chaos - with him. *** Finley Bowers has always done what everyone expects of him. But the last few years have been rough, and he's decided to make his own decisions instead of what everyone else wants him to do. The first step is to get out of his tiny town and study in England for the semester with his best friend, Max. Little did he know three short months would change his whole life. Harlyn Evans is really good at taking care of everyone else. He's not as good at taking care of himself.

But Max and his best friend draw him in in ways he never expected. As Finley and Harlyn get closer and try to figure out their feelings for each other, the end of the semester and Finley's return to the states looms in the distance. What will their future hold?
