Malachi Warren barely survived a series of assaults on his life. But survive he did, though not without baggage. Now, Malachi must pick up the pieces of his shattered life—the most important piece being his boyfriend, Bran Kendrick, who is dealing with problems of his own.

Before it’s too late, Malachi must confront his past and face his fears about the future, all without losing himself—and Bran—in the process.
