When Armando Cortez and I hook up, it’s supposed to be simple.
He has things he doesn’t want to talk about, and I don’t want him to know I’m on the run from my criminal past.
So we agree to lie to each other and leave real life at the door—all our complications, our baggage, our regrets. We want this to be an escape, and we’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
Falling for each other was never part of the plan.
And when my past starts to close in and my secrets are about to be revealed, I have to wonder—could Armando ever love a man like me, or will the truth ruin everything?
This opposites attract gay romance is part of Alexa Land’s Firsts and Forever Stories collection, and it can be read as a stand-alone.
