Aiden:

I’ve spent my whole life running. I don’t know how to do anything else. I don’t know stability, I don’t know how to trust, I don’t know how to love. I’ve never been able to truly call somewhere home. Any time I’ve let my guard down, even just the tiniest bit, it’s ended up biting me and causing me to run…again.

I’m so tired of running, and maybe, just maybe this little town in Colorado will be the place I can settle down. I know that’s just wishful thinking though. A happy life, a stable job, even a home is just not in the cards for me, and it’s pointless to even hope for it.

But since the moment Max walked into the coffee shop with his son, the man has somehow managed to get his hooks in me. And the more I get to know the two of them, the harder it is to keep up the walls I’ve built to protect myself. I just know if I let Max in he’ll be my downfall, but I’m starting to think he might be worth it.

Max:

Ever since I discovered I had a son a year ago, he’s become my world. My sole focus has been on him and proving that I can be the father he deserves. I certainly don’t have time for a relationship. But the guy who works at the café intrigues me. Under that polite smile and customer service friendliness, there’s a storm brewing behind those brown eyes, and I'm desperate to know the real Aiden. As hard as I try, I can’t seem to get him out of my head.

So when my son takes matters into his own hands and tries to set Aiden and I up, of course I can’t say no. But Aiden is hiding secrets on top of secrets, and his walls have walls so thick, I’m not sure if I can break them. Aiden makes me want to try though. All I want to do is give Aiden a safe place to land, if he’ll let me. And then something happens that changes everything, and I must make a decision. Fight for Aiden with everything I have or let him go. I’ve never been very good at letting things go, though, and Aiden’s worth risking it all for.
