It's been years since Pax realized the funny feeling he got every time he saw his brother's best friend meant he was gay. In all the time since, he's never met anyone who makes his heart flutter the way Brad does. Straight, sporty Brad, who's only ever seen Pax as a nerdy kid. Brad is back in town for his high school reunion, and he's got a secret. He may be out and proud where he lives now, but no one in Ames Bridge knows he's gay. It's time to open up, because there's really only one person he wants to see, and Pax deserves to know the truth. Pax is thrilled to learn Brad is interested in him, but Brad lives eight hundred miles away and being out in Ames Bridge isn't easy. If these two men are finally going to get their happily-ever-after, they need to be willing to fight for it.
