Ashton Reynolds loves his job as a police detective in Hawthorne Bluff, but he’s getting older and looking for more in his life. He begins volunteering at A Helping Hand, a community kitchen in Plymouth, where he meets Walker Jennings.
Ker Jennings is a man with a past. He’s dealt with oxycodone addiction for most of his adult life but has been clean for years. He meets Ash at the community kitchen where he volunteers, and they begin a slow but steady friendship.
As friendship turns into more, Ash and Ker need to deal with Ker’s substance use disorder, his past, and his triggers.
Ker has agreed to spend Christmas with his family for the first time in many years and when his greatest fears are realized, he sinks to his lowest. Only Ash can help him find his way back. Perhaps being addicted to Ashton is just what Ker needs to get his life back on track.
