Nick thought he’d been through just about everything life could throw at him, including being wounded in Afghanistan. He’s working as an ROTC officer at a university, and is struggling along. Then he sees English professor Brad, a ghost from his past, a man he’s wanted for many years. Brad is straight, and when Nick tried to take their friendship to the next level, he lost a good friend. Now Brad is back and on a reckless mission. He has come to find Nick and discover if they can make a go of it as lovers. If they fail, they’ll lose each other—this time for good.
