Jesse Valentine has mastered the art of living safely. As assistant manager of Detroit's coziest bookstore, he helps others find their voice through stories while keeping his own truth buried in a manuscript about two boys, a swimming pool, and the kind of love that leaves scars. His relationship with successful banker Ezekiel Hendricks is perfect, polished, and everything he thinks he deserves after his first love ended in a broken jaw and shattered dreams. But beneath his carefully constructed facade, Jesse still tastes chlorine and starlight when he dreams. When Ezekiel's picture-perfect proposal goes viral, Jesse becomes an overnight symbol of modern gay romance. But four words shatter his carefully crafted world: "Hey there, Pretty Boy." Anson Donovan is back - no longer the terrified teenager who chose reputation over love, but a man who's finally faced his truth. Now sober and co-parenting his artistic nine-year-old son with his supportive ex-wife, Anson has spent ten years carrying Jesse's poems in his pocket. He's finally brave enough to love without hiding, and he wants a second chance with the boy who used to write him poetry about drowning in starlight. As Jesse's viral engagement spirals into a media sensation, he's forced to choose: continue performing perfect love for an audience of millions, or risk everything for the messy, passionate, all-consuming truth he's never stopped writing about. But when that choice leads to an explosive revelation on live television, Jesse must decide if he's finally brave enough to burn his perfect life to the ground and write his own ending.

Piper Walsh has always been a fighter. No matter how many times life has knocked her down, she's always gotten back up, her smile never faltering. So when she scores an internship in NYC for her final year of visual arts at Columbia, she's ready to take on the world-even if it means leaving her brothers and everything she knows behind. Things get complicated when a housing mix-up leaves Piper stranded without her best friend and instead crashing with five of New York City's most notorious-and ridiculously attractive-bikers. But these guys aren't what they seem. Beneath the tough exteriors and tattoos, Piper discovers they're more like a pack of lovable, overprotective misfits than anything else. All except for Greyson Lowell. He's broody, standoffish, and frustratingly gorgeous-every bit the bad boy with a past he's not willing to talk about.

He's sworn off happiness, carrying the weight of a tragedy he can't seem to forget, and Piper's sunny smile only seems to remind him of what he thinks he doesn't deserve. But Piper isn't one to back down from a challenge. With her heart on her sleeve and kindness in spades, she's determined to break through Greyson's walls. And as sparks fly and tensions build, Piper discovers that there's more to Greyson than meets the eye-and that sometimes, the toughest hearts are just waiting for the right touch to open up.
