Description
Seven years ago, Ivan and Jay were bound together by the brutal realities of the foster care system. Hiding from a vicious guardian, they shared hushed nights in a barn, memorizing the details of one another’s lives to ensure they would never truly be forgotten. They forged an unbreakable pact: no matter how far apart the system tore them, they would find their way back to each other.
Now, that promise has finally been fulfilled, but the reunion is far from a fairy tale. Ivan has spent every waking moment searching for his other half, only to discover that the passage of time and the weight of deep-seated trauma have left Jay guarded and broken. Ivan is steadfast, determined to prove that their bond is stronger than the ghosts of their past, but Jay has learned the hard way that believing in a future is dangerous.
As old sparks reignite into something profoundly intimate, the two men must navigate the treacherous waters of vulnerability. Jay is terrified that revealing his scars will drive Ivan away, while Ivan refuses to let go of the person who gave him the strength to survive. This is a stirring, heart-wrenching journey of rediscovery, healing, and the enduring power of unconditional love.
