Publisher's summary

I've been drowning for a long time. I never thought I'd find someone who knows what that's like....

Self-proclaimed playboy, Aiden Vale, has it all - good looks, successful career, plenty of cash in the bank, and an endless supply of men who know the score...that one night is just that. So the last thing he wants, or needs, is to forge a connection that might mean revealing more of himself than he's ready to. But when fate intervenes, putting Aiden in the path of someone who threatens to knock down his carefully constructed walls, he's quick to realize the young man he's become infatuated with is hiding a painful secret.

I finally have a shot at freedom. I'll never let anyone take that from me ever again....

Ash Valentine is just looking for a way out, and the last thing he wants or needs is another man controlling every aspect of his life. Desperate for the cash that will help him flee his abusive boyfriend, Ash accepts what is supposed to be a temporary job at a local coffee shop. But nothing prepares him for the gorgeous and enigmatic Aiden Vale, and the small acts of kindness the charming coffee shop regular bestows on him or the new friends he begins to make along the way.

Terrified of once again becoming too reliant on someone else to take care of him, Ash refuses Aiden's repeated offers of help in any form. But when it becomes clear that there's something more behind Aiden's need to save him, Ash begins to wonder if he's found someone who needs saving just as badly.

I know he wants to save me, but what if he's the one who needs saving....

As their tentative friendship turns into something more, long buried secrets begin to surface. When Aiden's need to protect Ash clashes with the younger man's desire for independence, memories of the one he couldn't save begin to tear at the fragile cords of Aiden's soul, and he's forced to face a truth he's been hiding from for a long time.

I loved this. and an important topic

I think this story and the characters will be a strong memory for a long time.

powerful story

Another great book in this series. Its a story of a new heart, a new life, and a new lover. I was touched.

What a performance!

I've decided that Michael Pauley can just whisper the word "ok" in my ear any day of the week forever!
He brought Ash and Aiden to life in a perfect way. This is such a sweet, sad, beautiful, crushing, love story and Michael couldn't have done a better job.

OMG

I read this series before I listened to them. This book made me cry the most I think. With Michael reading it I think it made me cry harder. Glad I was at home listening to this one and not at work. Great presentation and great story. I think one of the sadder books in the series but the emotion keeps you listening till the end because you just know it has to come out great in the end!

Wonderfully sweet

Loved it!
Great story.
Characters definitely had very rough struggles in their lives, but they found each other and overcame them.

What I wish..

I wish he would have done something to prosecute Bomber! Now he’s free to do it again! But overall, this was a fabulous book. And a sweet love story!

another great audio

I loved this book when I first read it.
Michael Pauley brought Ash and Aiden to life for me. He did a great job, as usual, with the narration.
I highly recommend this audio book.
