Friends to lovers… Detective Roland Wright lives a lonely and solitary life, filling his waking hours with work and volunteering. It's been ten years since he lost the love of his life to a drunk driver, but he's still plagued by nightmares. When a young man shows up at the soup kitchen where he volunteers, Roland tries to convince himself the attraction he feels is purely platonic. At least the handsome stranger is older than he looks, but can Roland risk getting close when his new friend isn't even gay? Tyler Foster has lived on the streets since he aged out of the system. When a helpful police officer from the soup kitchen gets him a job, and a real place to live, Tyler feels like life is finally giving him the break he's prayed for. Still a virgin, Tyler is confused when he feels an attraction to the larger man. Roland is unlike anyone he's ever met and he makes Tyler feel things he doesn't understand. When he confides in Roland about his past, the truth hits closer to home than either man could have imagined. With Roland beside him, Tyler is willing to do anything to help build the case. Together, they are determined not to let any more children suffer the same fate. Will Roland and Tyler escape the past and find a future together? Trigger Warning: Assault, Abuse, Drugs
