Thanks to an abusive father and a string of bad relationships, Riley McCage
learned the hard way that people are not kind without a reason. Now, after landing a job
at popular gay bar Pot O Gold, Riley is on the right track—until the night Boxer finds
him drunk and drugged in the back room of an exclusive sex party. Donald “Boxer” Boxwood
wasn’t looking for anything beyond some casual kink until he peeled Riley off the floor
and gave him a safe place to stay. But there’s something compelling about the guy
crashing on his couch, and the two forge an instant friendship that eases into
unmistakable attraction. Despite Riley’s hesitancy, Boxer knows one thing to be true: he
needs Riley in his life. Riley risked everything to run away and build a new life for
himself, and his secrets aren’t something he’d ever wish upon his kind, gentle new
friend. But when the past comes to call, he’ll have no choice but to put his trust in
Boxer...and believe people can change enough to deserve a second
chance.
