A deeply emotional, LGBTQ small-town romance from bestselling author Lydia Michaels, where love, self-acceptance, and second chances take center stage.
A fallen athlete. A quiet lumberjack. And a love neither man saw coming...
Luke McCullough's dreams were destroyed by a football injury, forcing him back to his small-town roots-angry, lost, and nothing like the man he used to be. The last thing he expects is Tristan Hughes-an unexpected friend with quiet strength who disarms him in the most unexpected ways.
Tristan came to Center County to escape his past, not fall for a brooding, emotionally guarded man who doesn't know where he belongs. But beneath all that muscle and intensity, Luke hides a vulnerable heart-and Tristan is willing to fight for it.
As their connection deepens, Luke must face his biggest fear-embracing a love that could finally set him free.
