Blurb

Skyelar McKenzie doesn’t believe in God. River Dawson was raised in the church and his faith is the most important thing in the world to him. It gave him strength when he needed it most.

Despite their differences, the two men have been roommates, and best friends for ten years. But things get more complicated when Skye starts to realize that his feelings for his best friend aren't strictly platonic. That maybe the pull he feels towards River, the desire to comfort him, soothe him, chase away his demons, and make him smile goes deeper than he thought.

When River starts to face unexpected health issues Skye is there for his friend just like he always has been, and the feelings grow even deeper. But how can Skye say something when River is straight? And is he really the best fit for his friend given their differing beliefs?

But then River starts looking at him in ways he hasn’t before, and touching him in ways he hasn’t before, making Skye wonder if River is really straight after all, and if, maybe, there’s a chance for the happiness he’s longed for with the most amazing man he’s ever known. If maybe, River has feelings for him, too.

As time goes on, though, and River’s health issues get more complicated, can Skye be the anchor his friend needs? Can they be each other’s strength and courage when it looks like things are falling apart and the answers they seek aren’t coming?

Will they find joy amid all the heartache and doubt, and will their love be enough?
