Deputy Nick Hale and Dr. Devon Berkley had been best friend since grade school. They had always been there for each other, even when DB discovered he was gay and Nick was not. When tragedy strikes, being best friends might not be enough to keep Nick from making the worst mistake of his life.

DB has always had a thing for his best friend but he hid it under years of friendship. Not willing to let the man out of his life, DB ignores the attraction growing between them and helps Nick plan his future—even if that future is with someone else.

Nick Hale has always known DB had his back. The man being gay had never been an issue until one night, the comfort DB offers him brings to life fantasies he had buried long ago. When it seems like life has taken away his choices, Nick gives up his fantasies and goes with what he believes is right. But is it? Or is he fooling himself because the life he has always dreamed of might just be a fantasy?

"If you like stories about men who have to clue what they want and even once they do, they don’t speak up because they’d rather suffer in silence, if you believe that “smoking hot chemistry alone does not a couple make” before each partner has learned their lesson, and if you’re looking for a read that has infuriating yet loveable characters, lots of heat, and more than one twist and turn, then you will probably like this novella." -- Serena Yates, Rainbow Book Reviews
