An old-money billionaire.
A blue-collar boy from his past.
A new spark that changes everything.
Avery McAllister never planned on returning to Ellington Heights-not after escaping to Europe, building a high-profile life in the city, and doing everything possible to forget the small town that never felt like home. But his father's death drags him back, forcing him to face the past he left behind... including the best friend he abandoned without a goodbye.
Brandon Carmichael isn't the boy Avery remembers. He's older now, broader, steadier-and when Avery looks at him, something stirs in him he's never felt for any man before. A spark. A pull. A heat he doesn't know what to do with.
Settling his father's estate should have been simple. Instead, every encounter with Brandon leaves Avery questioning everything-his choices, his future, and his own desires. Brandon makes him want to stay, want to explore a side of himself he's never dared to name.
But Avery's life is still in the city. And Brandon's heart is on the line.
If Avery walks away again, it might break them both... this time for good.
