A short, sweet gay romance about new beginnings, from the author of "If Not for Charlie"... Indiana native Kieran Flynn moved to Southern California with two hopes: to escape the cold, and to find some success in advertising. But four months later he's still struggling to understand computer software, his home is an apartment over someone's garage, and he hasn't found a single way to stand out from the crowd. The only time of day he truly enjoys is lunchtime, when he leaves the confines of the office and soaks up some sun near the beach. Nothing looks promising. There's no success on the horizon... until a half-crazed guy comes running outside yelling, "Help me! Please help me!" That's Kieran's introduction to "the soup man," a gorgeous cafe owner named Ryan Dunn, who'll quickly become the most important person Kieran's ever met - and will teach him that when one thing in your life is perfect, the rest of your life might just follow suit.
