When Sebastian Carruthers and I end up in the same Las Vegas nightclub ten years after we last spoke, every lie I ever told myself about my former best friend shatters in an instant.
One desperate night and two desperate confessions lead to something neither of us planned—a job offer that puts Sebastian in the same city where I play hockey for the Maine Marauders.
Suddenly, we have months together instead of days. Stolen moments spent living a life that feels terrifyingly real. In public, we’re just friends. Old roommates catching up. In private?
We’re everything we never got to be before, but no one can ever know.
Because if anyone found out, Sebastian’s enemies would turn our relationship into a political scandal that could cost him everything. I could survive the fallout.
What I couldn’t survive is losing him again.
Unfortunately, secrets like ours don’t stay buried for long.
And when he’s outed on the world’s biggest stage, we’ll have to decide if what we’ve built in the shadows is strong enough to survive in the light.
