A gritty romantic drama of two untamed hearts and the unbreakable bonds of a lifetime love. Ryan meets Dominic for the first time when their mother rekindles her long-abandoned relationship with Dominic’s father. Cocky, confident and handsome Dominic quickly becomes Ryan’s best mate as well as his secret infatuation. When a line is crossed as the young men explore uncharted desires, a passionate, forbidden affair leads Ryan to fall hopelessly in love. However, disaster and heartbreak hit hard when the family unit is torn apart. Twenty years later, a chance encounter brings the two men together again. Decades of estrangement have done nothing to diminish their explosive chemistry. Will they finally be able to build the relationship they’ve always needed after a lifetime of denial and suffering? Please note: this book contains strong adult themes, sexual scenes and violence.
