Description
All Noah Valentine wants is to be independent. Having passed twenty, he decides it's time to be an adult and take on some responsibilities, so he ends up moving away and working two jobs. Being a clerk at a grocery store is just one of his ways to make ends meet, but his job as a bartender at a club is turning into so much more. The vibrant nature of that place is what Noah needs to feel alive and his co-workers are fast becoming his new best friends. And then there's Dex - the owner's brother and a guy Noah begins to crave as more than a friend. The problem is, Dex doesn't seem to reciprocate. Dexter Bailey used to be a generally happy guy. He had his beloved adopted brother Ash, his best friend Caleb, and his friend-turned-lover Julian. But after Julian betrays him and breaks his heart, Dex is careful to never fall in love again. That changes after a stranger saves his life - a stranger who Dex soon finds out is the new bartender at his brother's club. As Dex's attraction to Noah grows, his walls begin to crumble and he starts to wonder if he could ever trust another lover. Then Julian comes back, begging for one more chance and reminding Dex of all the hardship a romantic relationship could bring. Will Noah manage to prove to Dex that a chance at love is worth risking your heart?
