About this ebook

Craig loves his boyfriend. He wants to be better, to help more, to not be an imposition. He doesn’t know why Darren puts up with him. When an accident lands Craig in hospital, he’s shown the truth about the type of relationship he has. The news rocks Craig’s world because that’s not how he sees it. At least, until Darren uses his fists one time too many.


Alex needs to get Craig to see what’s happening, but he knows how difficult it is for a domestic abuse victim to get help. He tries to assist Craig, but Craig struggles with his new reality. Alex finds himself falling for the man, although it is completely the wrong time, wrong place.


His feelings for Alex confuse Craig, and he can’t understand it. Alex tries to move on, but his friends bring Craig into their circle, making it almost impossible for Alex to forget him. A new relationship is not the distraction it should be, and when Craig calls for help, Alex goes running, disregarding the potential issues.


Read on to find out what happens when Craig’s carefully balanced life falls apart. Who is there to help him patch up his wounds – physically, emotionally and mentally?

I really enjoyed this book which explored how control and abuse in a domestic setting can creep up in a relationship so slowly that you think it is normal behaviour and just cannot see it. Alex crossed a few lines even though he tried hard not to but I was thrilled that after a healing period of time they were able to enter a relationship together. Easy to read and understand. Contains domestic abuse both physical and mental as well as some MM mature content.

About the author

Elouise East writes sweet and steamy connections in gay romance. She also touches on taboo stories under the name Elouise R East.

Books that tell the stories where friendship and family are the focal point - be it blood family or chosen - are very important to her. That’s why she includes a variety of personalities, talents, ages, situations and abilities as she believes a story or character needs. She wants her characters to be real, to be relatable, to be free to have whatever views they tell her they have. And trust her, most of the time, she does not have any say in the matter!

Her characters come to life on the page for her as well as her readers. Their stories unfold in front of her as she writes, and she has very little input into how they want to be shown. Just like real life, the lives of her characters change with every choice, every interaction and every conversation. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.

She writes books that are emotionally realistic, even if liberties are taken with other aspects of the stories. She doesn’t know any other way to write. It comes from deep inside.

Who is she? A single parent to two children living in the UK. An avid reader who still tries to devour every book she can get her hands on. A student of learning about any subject that takes her fancy. An author of books she would read herself. And a romantic at heart who loves anything cheesy. 

Who’s joining her on her journey?
