What price is too great to pay to be with the one you love? Conner Jeffries is in his early thirties and has achieved most of the goals he has set in his life. He owns his own home, and has a reasonably successful business that helps to make ends meet. His last goal which used to be his first is to enjoy a loving relationship with a man. That goal has been elusive and always was just outside of his grasp. That is until he meets the enigmatic Edwin Tayler. Edwin Tayler carries within him an emptiness that never lets go: his one love died long ago from a devastating pandemic. He eventually resigned himself to a "friends with benefits" arrangement, an arrangement that can fulfill his physical needs, and, because of their friendship, eases some of the loneliness. Meeting Conner Jeffries brings back his desire for intimacy, but his secret could unravel his plans for capturing the heart of the young man redecorating his house. When these two men meet one spring afternoon they are both presented with life altering decisions, neither one is prepared to make. Will they find what they each so desperately seek, that one thing that will make them feel whole, or, will they discover that there are some things in life that are too costly, even to be with the one you love?
