An emotional, steamy M/M second-chance romance about first love, old wounds, and finding the courage to choose the one person you never forgot.
At eighteen, Peter Barkley and Christian Flint were never supposed to fall for each other. Peter had a girlfriend, a future, and a life that made sense. Christian knew better than to want someone who could only choose him in secret.
But for one stolen week, none of that mattered.
What they found together was intense, unexpected, and impossible to forget. What tore them apart left wounds neither of them fully understood.
Twenty years later, Peter and Christian are no longer the boys they used to be. They have built separate lives, carried old regrets, and learned how to survive without the one person they never quite stopped wanting.
When fate brings them face-to-face again in their Montana hometown, the past refuses to stay buried. To find their way back to each other, Peter and Christian must confront the truth about what happened, what it cost them, and whether first love can become something lasting the second time around.
