Is it better to keep some secrets locked away? Matt thought his life was perfect, but he learns there's no such thing when the man he planned to marry breaks his heart and leaves him holding the pieces. Needing to escape and lick his wounds, Matt heads to New England to spend time on his brother's lobster boat. A one-night stand proves to him that empty sex does nothing to mend old hurt, and neither does running away. So when Matt's best friend, Luke, a firefighter, is seriously injured, Matt steps up, even if it means facing bigotry and ignorance. Luke has been hiding his feelings from Matt all their lives, and revealing them after so many years won't make life easier for either of them. But nothing worth having ever comes easily....
