A story told from two perspectives:
Erik is a religious boy who begins to question his sexuality and beliefs after he is propositioned by a male classmate.
Nicholas is an attractive, though somewhat self-absorbed, young man whose life is uprooted when his mother announces her bitter divorce from his father.
When the two boys meet, things become increasingly complicated as they strike up a friendship, which quickly develops into something neither party can be certain of.

PERSONAL NOTE:
I originally wrote this story as a screenplay back in 2010. The screenplay went nowhere, but then in early 2018, while performing in a musical at a local theater, I had the idea to adapt it into a stage musical, which may or may not see the light of day -- that remains to be seen. A few months after that, I began drawing comics on Instagram and I was so in love the characters from this story, I made them into a web comic. Fast forward toward the end of 2018 and I'm now here, adapting this story again into a novel. These characters are near and dear to my heart and I hope that anyone who takes the time to read this, at the very least, enjoys it.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
