Description

From roommates who barely see each other, to finding their happily ever after, Luke and Scott have a tough storm to weather.

Luke

Escaping a madman with your life barely intact and your ability to trust shattered changes you. It changed me. I didn't remember who I was before him, my past a murky shadow, and everything in the future looked the same.

Until an ad for a roommate led me to Scott. Scott made me feel safe. He made me feel... happy. But should I allow myself to drop my walls around him when the last man I let in left me bleeding and scared of my own shadow?

Scott

Being lonely was nothing new to me. Other than my best friend and his small family, I had no one in the world and I was okay with that. Or at least, that was what I thought.

But then Luke showed up, looking to rent a room, and something about the beautiful man with his oversized hoodie and eyes full of warniness made me want to get to know him better. Something made me want to earn his trust, to see joy and adoration shine in those gray eyes. But should I let him get close when I've lost too many people already?
