A story of hope, compassion, healing, and unexpected love.
Gil sees hope for the first time since an explosion left his body and mind shattered. After meeting Keith, a man thriving despite his physical disability, Gil is determined to heal, face his PTSD, and take back his life.
A bomb destroyed lawyer Gil Lemieux’s seemingly perfect life, and PTSD has ruled every decision since the explosion that left him scarred inside and outside. Moving home with his mom was meant to be temporary, just like proofreading for a medical editorial firm. But two years after taking on the wrong court case, he’s still living in fear.
Keith Kramer might be based 1,500 miles from Gil, but their shared work brings them together—a chance meeting that’s life-changing. Gil is drawn to Keith’s good looks and intelligence, but it’s his innate understanding that Gil is more than his scars that’s truly attractive. He’s everything Gil used to be and more. It blows Gil’s mind that his attraction might be returned.
Only doubt could widen the distance between them. Keith’s hopefulness, borne out of surviving some tough challenges of his own, isn’t enough to bridge the distance alone. Gil will need to believe he has as much to offer as Keith if they’re to build a life together.
Una bomba ha distrutto la vita apparentemente perfetta di Gil Lemieux, avvocato di successo. L’esplosione gli ha lasciato cicatrici dentro e fuori e da quel giorno il disturbo da stress postraumatico ha preso il controllo della sua vita. Tornare a vivere con la madre dovrebbe essere una soluzione provvisoria, tanto quanto correggere bozze per una rivista medica. Ma due anni dopo aver vinto il caso sbagliato in tribunale, Gil vive ancora nel terrore.
