No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Some hearts were made to be stolen.
Mark Mannix doesn't believe in love or romance, which is ironic given his birthday falls on Valentine's Day. As he approaches forty, Mark is perfectly content with his life and nursing career in Boston, and--outside of his long-time friend-with-benefits, Alistair--prefers his hookups to be one-night stands.
When Mark's plans for New Year's Eve fall through, he attends his sister's party and meets Owen Todd, a graphic designer of Caribbean descent. Owen is more than a decade younger than Mark and, at first glance the two men appear to have little in common. The chemistry between them is potent, however, and Mark breaks his no-strings pattern, seeing Owen week after week.
A connection forms between the two men, leaving Mark in uncharted territory and drawn to Owen in ways he's never known before. Even so, Mark continues his hookups with Alistair but is startled when Owen withdraws out of a desire to protect himself. His foundations shaken, Mark must decide if he can watch Owen walk away or โฆ if the time has come to follow his heart in a new direction.
