Meet Ashton Summers. Humble, gentle, sweet and shy, these words describe him the best. Due his shyness, books are his company and comfort. His biggest mistake was not falling for him, it was thinking that he had fallen for him too. Meet Xander Faust. He fits all the cliches of a bad boy; popular, loves parties, alcohol, drugs and lots of sex, except the fact that he's gay. He never knew he could be in so much pain and yet be so in love with the person causing it. Join Ash and Xander in their journey against all tides.
