Both men are afraid of falling too deeply in love because of the emotional and social barriers that stand in their way. They struggle with the question of whether their love can survive in a world that demands conformity from both of them. This is exactly what Ellis Xydrien Gomez faces. For eighteen years, he's experienced firsthand how brutal the world can be for someone like him. Haunted by the trauma of his past, he's terrified of showing anyone his true feelings. And because he keeps his emotions buried, even with the one man who's ready to embrace him completely-he won't allow himself to love the lead vocalist of the famous band Echoes. Faustino Alonzo Abuel is everything most men would envy. Tall, handsome, and every woman's dream. His voice and presence can capture any crowd, and he's used to getting what he wants. But what happens when he falls for someone who could break him apart over and over again? Can Ellis and Austin find a way to be together, to heal the broken pieces of their pasts and find harmony in each other's arms? Or will their love, like so many before it, be crushed under the weight of their own fears, leaving them as broken as the melodies they once shared?
