A lonely man suffering from addiction meets his savior. But can the charming male psychology student truly love and save him?

Tristan Tolken feels invisible most of the time, which is fine by him. After suffering years of abuse by a mother who won’t accept his attraction to men, he’s fallen into sexual addiction. His only relief is to lose himself in his artwork and yearn for Collin from afar. There’s no way Collin could ever notice him, right?

Collin Stanley has the self-confidence and smarts to be starting his master’s degree in psychology early, but he has a problem. After only a few months, he’s been kicked out of his apartment and can only find a room in the dorm. When he strolls into his new room, he’s shocked to find Tristan there. He’s had his eye on Tristan. Tristan’s unusual habits are fascinating, but Tristan’s completely shut down. Will Tristan let him in?

Collin figures out Tristan’s obsession right away and knows that he’s the one who can fix him. But fixing Tristan leaves Collin with emotions he didn’t count on and his own fear of falling in love surfaces. As Tristan heals with Collin’s help, Collin hides a deep secret. This secret threatens their relationship and could throw Tristan back into a lonely life of addiction. As the secret is revealed, how can Collin redeem himself and not destroy Tristan in the process?

Reviews:

Intensely emotional and raw. Those were the first words that came to mind when I began writing this review. As I reflected deeper, I realized there is also beauty to the pain in these characters and their story. Two insanely hot, exceptionally smart, talented, very damaged men finding one another and finding a road to mutual healing.”

“Tristan and Collin have a story that is not for the faint of heart, but I must say that you will be pulled in with it’s intense and at times painful hard to read qualities that each of the characters have had to endure. Not only was the subject matter written with a real raw and honest energy, I felt like I was holding both the MC’s hands as they were crawling out of the darkness into the light.
I loved this story and how it broke me and then put me back together again with a new found understanding of what facing and winning a traumatic past would feel like. Absolutely Excellent.”

“This one had some triggers for me that I didn’t think I had so I was surprised at how painful the book was for me to read. There’s a heavy element of bullying and betrayal and a very sweet naïve young man who has found a socially unacceptable way to deal with trauma and only wants to be loved. I spent most of the story really wishing I could hug one MC and shake some sense into the other. If a story can bring out the feels that strongly, the author is doing something right!”
