Can a future be built from pieces of a broken past?
Jordan Barnett is dead, killed as much by the rejection of his first love at his moment of greatest need as by his ultraconservative parentsâ effort to deprogram the gay away.
In his place is Silver, a streetwise survivor whoâs spent the last three years becoming untouchable... except to those willing to pay for the privilege. Heâs determined not to let betrayal find him again, and that means never forging bonds that can be broken.
No matter how hard he tried, Zebadiah Harris couldnât outrun his guilt over abandoning his young loverânot even by leaving the country. Now, almost the moment he sets foot back in Baltimore, he discovers Silver on a street corner in a bad part of town. His effort to make amends lands them both in jail, where Silver plans a seductive form of vengeance. But using a heart as a stepping-stone is no way to move past the one man he canât forgive, let alone forget....
