I've never thought I would fall for someone so different from me, but we end up rescuing each other. It’s one of those times when everything is finally going all right. I barely get by, though I have wonderful friends who are all about trying new foods, organizing barbecues, or cooking together. We have so much fun. And, I talk little about them, but I also have a few numbers on my phone for casual flings. It all comes crashing down when Jared, one of my usuals, starts brandishing pictures of myself that I’ve never consented to him taking. I meet Elijah. A successful, gorgeous chef—how perfect is that?—who moved to the house across the street after a long stay in Spain. But he’s shy. Mostly. Elijah is particularly religious, while I’ll never be. Hot and cold with me as I slowly peel off the layers to uncover the exploitation from his father and all the complexities in his life. Definitely, he’s the perfect distraction to Jared and his outrageous photographs. Elijah lives tormented by sin.
