In book two of the Chrysalis series, Pierce has brought Aiden home with him, despite the fact that Aiden's sister thinks it's all a horrible idea. Pierce doesn't know why manic-depressive author Aiden is so important to him, but he knows the more he gets to know the man, the more he likes him. Aiden likes Pierce's house, likes the routine he's establishing for himself. His writing is the best way to exorcise his demons, he's taking his meds, and he thinks Pierce is the best thing since sliced bread. Both of the boys know that nothing in life is easy, but it's outside forces like work and family that threaten to intrude on the life they're building. Can Aiden and Pierce find a way to overcome the obstacles in front of them?
