Veteran rugby player Liam Donnelly's life has been defined by restraint and denial, but one moment of indulgence last season nearly cost him everything. With his career hampered by injury and his hookup threatening to expose him, a move to Edinburgh is his best chance at a fresh start. He has one goal: get through the season and retire on a high note ... then think about coming out on his own terms. But when he meets Lachlan MacLeod, an award-winning chef with whiskey-colored eyes, Liam knows he's in big trouble. Despite his best efforts to keep things simple, his attraction to Lachlan is anything but.
Out-and-proud chef Lachlan MacLeod has vowed to stop hooking up with closeted men who aren't ready to embrace their truth. He's been down that road one too many times, and it always ends in heartbreak. But when Liam Donnelly, a sexy rugby player with the greenest eyes he's ever seen and a heart full of secrets, keeps showing up at his restaurant, Lachlan's resolve begins to waver. There's something about Liam he can't resist, even though he knows their connection is fraught with complications.
As Liam and Lachlan's friendship deepens, so does the chemistry between them until it becomes impossible to ignore. What begins as a tentative exploration of Liam's long-buried desires quickly spirals into something far more intense. Lachlan is falling for the broken athlete, even though he knows Liam's fear of coming out could tear them apart. With their future on the line, will Liam finally confront the truth about who he is and what he wants, or will Lachlan walk away to protect himself from inevitable heartbreak?
