Darian
When I was thirteen, my brother Nate’s death tore my family apart, leaving me to deal with the agony of losing both my brother and my grieving parents. Nate’s best friend, Levon Richardson—my crush for years—was the one person I thought I could count on. I was sure Lev would stick around and help me through the pain. But he left, just like everyone else. Six years later, he’s back, but something has changed. The feelings I have when I’m around him might be enough to start piecing together my shattered heart. I needed him then, and I know that I need him now. But the risk of being hurt again might be more than I can handle.

Levon
Inheriting my uncle’s motorcycle shop was always my dream. But as I settle back in my hometown with my new job and life, nearly everything reminds me of the loss of my best friend, Nate, when we were only sixteen. Guilt and shame around Nate’s death made me leave six years ago. Coming home now brings back all of those demons I tried to forget, especially once I cross paths with Nate’s younger brother, Darian. He’s no longer a kid, and the feelings that come with seeing him again are not entirely innocent. But he’s been fighting his own demons, and it’s not until he starts to open up to me that I realize just how much my leaving hurt both of us. Can I be here for him now, like he needed me to be here then? And can we both find the healing we desperately need in each other?
