[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Romance, M/M, bondage, sex toys, HEA] Welcome to Cedar Falls, a small North Carolina town nestled amongst the Smokey Mountains, where the people are friendly and the men are hot. Stone Powers made a mistake that put the love of his life in the hospital twelve years ago. Too ashamed of his actions, Stone fled. But no matter how far he runs, he continues to come back to one truth: he owes Griffith Montrose an apology. If he were to be honest, Stone hopes Griff will give him another chance by forgiving him. Griffith Montrose has become somewhat of a hermit. Being beaten by a bigot twelve years earlier has left him anxious around people. Returning to his home town of Cedar Falls with his tail tucked firmly between his legs, Griffith isn't sure he’ll ever recover from that fateful day when his boyfriend—the man Griffith thought loved him—stood by and watched his attacker beat him. Reunited once more, can the two put what happened behind them and find their happily-ever-after or are they destined to live alone?
