Publisher's Summary

I've been drowning for a long time. I never thought I'd find someone who knows what that's like....

Self-proclaimed playboy, Aiden Vale, has it all - good looks, successful career, plenty of cash in the bank, and an endless supply of men who know the score...that one night is just that. So the last thing he wants, or needs, is to forge a connection that might mean revealing more of himself than he's ready to. But when fate intervenes, putting Aiden in the path of someone who threatens to knock down his carefully constructed walls, he's quick to realize the young man he's become infatuated with is hiding a painful secret.

I finally have a shot at freedom. I'll never let anyone take that from me ever again....

Ash Valentine is just looking for a way out, and the last thing he wants or needs is another man controlling every aspect of his life. Desperate for the cash that will help him flee his abusive boyfriend, Ash accepts what is supposed to be a temporary job at a local coffee shop. But nothing prepares him for the gorgeous and enigmatic Aiden Vale, and the small acts of kindness the charming coffee shop regular bestows on him or the new friends he begins to make along the way.

Terrified of once again becoming too reliant on someone else to take care of him, Ash refuses Aiden's repeated offers of help in any form. But when it becomes clear that there's something more behind Aiden's need to save him, Ash begins to wonder if he's found someone who needs saving just as badly.

I know he wants to save me, but what if he's the one who needs saving....

As their tentative friendship turns into something more, long buried secrets begin to surface. When Aiden's need to protect Ash clashes with the younger man's desire for independence, memories of the one he couldn't save begin to tear at the fragile cords of Aiden's soul, and he's forced to face a truth he's been hiding from for a long time.

....wow.... that was...intense...

(please ignore typos and terrible grammar/punctuation in this review. I'm normally good but i stayed up way too late finishing this awesome book!)

loved this book so much. I don't even know what to say. beautiful. heartbreaking. sweet. gut-wrenchingly tragic. a little triggering at times (be warned trauma survivors). and oh my goodness Michael Dean voiced a certain evil-dude so well he had me ducking for cover! repeatedly! Scary good performance!

I loved getting to know Aiden. It was so fascinating seeing Aiden from Bennet and Xavier's perspective in book one, then B&X from Aiden's perspective in book 2. during book one, i always thought B&X never gave him enough credit. if not for him deliberately pretending to be a jerk, they never would've got back together. I loved B&X, but I do think Aiden is a better friend to them than they are to him. but that's a very subjective opinion. I like protective-friend-Aiden. so please don't hate me for siding with Aiden. I do love them all and love both book 1 and 2 so so much!!

The only thing I'm kinda disappointed in is....


****mild spoiler******









we never got to see evil-dude pay for his very serious crimes. in my head, i imagine he went to gaol. for life. and got beat up a lot.

Still, an awesome book.

Just beautiful!

Heart warming, tear jerking and suspenseful but I loved every moment. Aiden and Ash are just perfect together and have wormed into my heart. thanks Lucy and Sloane for creating this adventure and such real, raw and wonderful characters!
