Finch escapes the world through video games.
Day after day, he burns time by shooting zombies and deactivating bomb sites. That is all he can do. He has no life outside it, no passion, no nothing. He plans on doing that for the rest of his life, as long as that might be anyway.
But then... he sees Kitt.
A flamboyant, flirty man with pink kitten ears and a smile to die for. And somehow, for the first time in many many years, Finch feels a tad more alive. He knows immediately that there is a guy he wants, a guy perfect all around, and a guy he would give the entire world to if he so demands.
But... there's just a small problem.
Firstly, Kitt doesn't know he exists.
And secondly, Finch is at least a dozen brackets out of his league.
So, when he gets one mysterious friend request in one of his games, he doesn't expect it could be the start of something he has ever only dreamed of...
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?
