They say you can't go home again. But what if home is the man you can't forget?
Luca Romano left his small town and its narrow-minded whispers behind, trading them for a life of vibrant freedom as an openly gay photographer. But when a family emergency forces him back, he's thrust into a world of memories he'd rather forget. The last person he wants to see is Daniel his former best friend, his first love, and a secret chapter of his past he's desperately tried to burn.
Daniel has painstakingly built the perfect, "normal" life: a respectable job, a house with a white picket fence, and a kind, loving fiancée. He's locked away his desires, his truth, and the boy he once was, convincing himself it was all just a phase.
He's safe.
He's straight.
Or so he thought until one glimpse of Luca shatters the illusion completely.
