    About this audiobook

    Rowan

    Five years ago, I ruined the best thing I had in my life and ran. Now, I'm finally back to make things right. I need Circus's forgiveness, and then I can finally move on. I'll leave Sunbury for good this time and never look back. Maybe then I can finally live life as an out gay man-without my family ever finding out. But earning his forgiveness isn't as simple as I hoped it would be. He's going to make me fight for it. And I don't blame him at all.

    Circus

    I never wanted or expected to see Rowan Harvey again. When he shows up in Sunbury, begging for forgiveness, I'm tempted to give it to him just so he'll disappear. Instead, we make a deal. I need an extra model for a swimwear shoot, and none of my friends are available or fit the brief. I'll forgive him, if he helps me. Then he has to leave. For good. Because his request for anonymity during the shoot proves he's still living in his dark closet. I'm not going to make the same mistakes I did when I was a teenager. I won't let myself fall for him again. Because after how things ended between us, he doesn't deserve a second chance.

    Contains mature themes.

      Book 2 is the series, and it’s a winner. In some ways, this story is more authentic than Tanner & Roo where everyone foresaw and accepted the relationship. Circus & Rowan were close friends until it was shattered by a kiss ( ok more than a kiss) on prom night. Rowan leaves town without a word and cuts Circus off. It’s 5 years later and Rowan is back home, he still struggling with his family’s conservative values and how to reconcile his sexuality. Circus hires Rowan under duress to do modeling work as a faux couple. Immediately sparks between these two are electric. Rowan doesn’t see a world where he is out & proud and can keep his relationship with his family- which he doesn’t want to lose. As Rowan start to see what his life can be, they navigate and support each other come what may, and it’s beautiful. Bonus, we get to learn and see more of gang, which is so much fun.
