He’s just getting over a bad break up and a jealous boyfriend, but it’s time to move on and Don has a set of green eyes he could lose himself in.

He wants a piece of it and is looking forward to getting to know his neighborly Halloween Hunk. The men hit it off well, until Marcos’s ex makes a move on him at the party of the year and Don sees them lock lips in a heartbreaking kiss. His heart is instantly shattered, and Marcos has mountains to climb to earn his trust or a chance to have his heart again.
