~This is Zak's story. Tentative Release Date January 20, 2027 ~
Six years of chasing warmth in strangers' beds taught me one thing: I'm really good at fucking up relationships. While my sisters found their happily-ever-afters, I became the family addict—the youngest kid nobody took seriously.
So I did something crazy. Took my trust fund, fled to San Francisco, and opened a café. For the first time in years, I was clean, successful, and yet, still desperately lonely.
Then Augusta walked in. A scarred firefighter, old enough to be my father, with three simple rules: no lying, no pretending to be someone we're not, and no hiding who we are.
Simple, right?
Except he's guarding secrets that are eating him alive, and I'm one bad day away from my old self-destructive patterns.
Two broken people. Three impossible rules. One chance to prove that home isn't a place—it's the person who sees every shattered piece of you and stays anyway.
I just hope I don't screw this up before I find out.
