Theatre headliner Trevor Rowland is at the peak of his career when disaster strikes. In one fell swoop, he loses his eyesight, his fame, and his boyfriend, who absconds with most of his money. Trevor must take on a flatmate, hardworking East Ender Jack Burrows, to afford the rent. Anger and bitterness have taken up residence in his heart—but Jack shines light into the shadowy corners with his relentlessly sunny disposition.

Jack introduces Trevor to a local drag club and convinces him he can enjoy the stage again. Trevor’s defences slowly come down as Jack becomes much more than a barely tolerated roommate.

But will Trevor’s fragile trust be destroyed when it appears he’s been manipulated yet again by a man he’s come to care for? Will he reclaim his life or crawl back into a shell of defeat? Trevor must learn to trust not only a man, but himself, once more.

Secrets and fears… Everyone has them; Jack Murphy and Liam Connelly are no exception.

A secret brings Liam Connelly to D.C., but what he discovers upon his arrival is so much more than he expected. Hired to tend bar at Bottoms Up, Liam finds himself drawn to his enigmatic boss like a moth to a flame. 

Jack “Dragon” Murphy dedicated his life to serving his country, but PTSD forces him into early retirement. Jack sets out to build a new dream with the love and support of his family, friends, and his dog, Charlie. Bottoms Up becomes his new beginning and his solace from the inner turmoil caused by the secret he has been hiding for twenty years. A secret he is able to deny until he meets Liam. 

Jack is rocked by the death of the man he respects above all others. His loss brings about a new discovery, making him realize that things aren’t always what they seem. 

Fear of rejection keeps Liam from revealing the truth of why he came to town and guilt is eating him alive. He’s built a new life with wonderful friends and losing all of it seems like more than he can handle. He turns to the man who has come to mean so much to him and learns that he’s not the only one hiding a secret.

Jack wants Liam more than his next breath, but can he take the risk of losing everyone he holds dear; to take that leap that will either bring him happiness or cause him to lose the one person who makes him feel complete?

Jack and Liam join forces to find closure for Jack’s lost hero and learn a lot more about themselves and each other along the journey. Will these two men find a future together or will outside forces keep them apart? Are they brave enough to surrender their hearts to one another or will fear break their bond?

Synopsis

After trading the barracks for a fixer-upper rental, navy SEAL Zack Nelson wants peace, not a roommate—especially not Pike, who sees things about Zack he most wants to hide. Pike's flirting puts virgin Zack on edge. And the questions Pike's arrival would spark from Zack's teammates about his own sexuality? Nope. Not going there. But Zack can't refuse.

Pike Reynolds knows there won't be a warm welcome in his new home. What can he say? He's an acquired taste. But he needs this chance to get his life together. Also, teasing the uptight SEAL will be hella fun. Still, Pike has to tread carefully; he's had his fill of tourists in the past, and he can't risk his heart on another, not even one as hot, as built—and, okay, yeah, as adorable—as Zack.

Living with Pike crumbles Zack's restraint and fuels his curiosity. He discovers how well they fit together in bed…in the shower…in the hallway… He needs Pike more than he could have imagined, yet he doesn't know how to be the man Pike deserves.
