After a rough breakup, Todd Addison wants time alone to grieve. While still dreaming of winning back his ex's love, he moves across the country and finds work with a construction company. The last thing he needs is the cute office boy developing a crush on him, especially since he's back in the closet.

Sebastián Nye can't help feeling sorry for the obviously brokenhearted Todd. Though rebuffed repeatedly, Sebby chisels away at Todd's resistance, determined to help him forget--a task potentially beyond anyone's capabilities. He never meant to fall for the poor guy, but he does. Hard.

Desperate to hold on to Todd, Sebby hatches a sneaky plot guaranteed to end Todd's heartbreak--if Todd doesn't bail and ruin everything. Just when things can't get more complicated, Todd's ex wants him back. And Sebby's abusive ex is just waiting to catch Sebby alone. Todd and Sebby must decide what's worth fighting for, what's worth sacrifice, and what's worth compromise, or their relationship will begin and end with a broken heart.
