Fame in Los Angeles was supposed to fulfill everything an English actor had wanted since childhood, yet the cameras leave him overwhelmed, terrified, and painfully far from the people he left behind.
Halo House offers him a short stay in Room 7, a refuge meant for boys with nowhere else to go, even as he insists he has not earned that shelter.
Then he meets Nate, a strong, patient, nurturing man who has spent years protecting actors far more famous than he is.
Nate sees through the bravado and invites him to stop carrying everything alone, stirring a hunger to be Nate's boy and to call him Daddy.
New comforts, a fourteen-year age gap, and a tenderness he never expected force a choice: keep hiding, or risk a different kind of dream in Nate's care.
