No one but his best friend suspects the cruelty Jason hides behind is a ruse to keep his hellish private life out of the public eye.Jason has only loved one boy in his life, and that crush on Tommy Johnson ended so badly that they're no longer on speaking terms. When an ex-lover threatens Jason and Tommy steps in to help, the heartless playboy can't help but fall a little bit back in love with him-but Jason will have to choose between keeping Tommy or his secrets.
