Along Came Charlie

Julian Hemmings had always been adamant about never becoming a father. He knew the responsibilities it involved and didn't want to be held accountable for another's existence. After a close call, he took every precaution to ensure his life remained child-free. However, he never expected an enigmatic encounter from the past would resurface thirteen years later as a surprise on his doorstep.

Charlie's an intense force that storms into Julian's life. To Julian's horror, a spitting image of Julian's younger self. But Charlie has no intention of staying or forming a relationship. His only request is a temporary place to stay and then Julian can continue living as if he never existed.

What was supposed to be a straightforward six-month arrangement swiftly turns into a complex whirl of emotions. Julian and Charlie must learn to navigate the complexities of their strained relationship, forcing them to confront the deep-seated fears that have shaped their perspective on love, family, and human connection.

Will this unlikely bond help Julian and Charlie confront their fears, or will it reinforce their belief that some wounds are better left untouched?
