It keeps him safe, hidden. Until he meets Julian. From the moment they first meet, Mattie knows life is about to change. He’s yet to determine if it is for the better or worse.

As soon as they cross paths, Mattie has the power to drive Julian’s man parts crazy with lust. But can lust be enough to help Mattie out of the closet, and guide Julian into a happier place?

Just how far are they willing to go in the aim of coming out?
