What do you call the man’s who’s been there for you all your life? The one who’s been the rock you cling to when your life is swirling down the drain? The person who’s now, still, and always, willing to fly a thousand miles at a moment’s notice simply because you need a hug? You call him your bestie. Max Henry has the worst luck in love. Every guy he’s ever been with has treated him terribly, but the last one was the worst of the bunch. He’d stolen not only Max’s money but his dignity as well. To top it off, he’d been selling drugs from their apartment and was the reason Max got arrested, evicted, and lost his job. Horror. Richie Ryland wants to run over Max’s ex with a car. Just the sound of Max’s voice on the phone, how desperate and sad he sounded, tore his heart in two. There was no question that he had to see him. Jumping on a plane to reach Max and offer him a new—and hopefully better—life seemed the only logical choice. But can Richie help Max rediscover the person who was once so confident and strong? Can he show him it’s okay to lean on your best friend? Or will he be unable to do anything as Max sinks into doubt and self-loathing? More than anything, can they each find the strength to admit to the other the secret they’ve been holding in their hearts for years?
