Jared knew that looking for a man to love was pointless because he'd never be able to bring him home. But one chance meeting and one hot night with Kyle had Jared seriously trying to figure out if he really had to live by the rules of someone else's intolerance. Torn between wanting Kyle and facing the narrow-mindedness of a small country town, Jared didn't know what to do. Could Kyle really want Jared enough to deal with the town's hostility together? By the time Jared got himself ready to talk to Kyle, to ask him, Kyle had left. Kyle had been looking to find someone to love, looking for a place to call home, and one blazing night spent in Jared's arms and Kyle knew Jared was just the man he was looking for. But Kyle had a feeling Jared didn't want to bring Kyle home with him and when he found out why he had no choice but to leave. It didn't matter that he wanted Jared, or even that Jared wanted him. The town where Jared lived was the one town Kyle swore he would never set foot in again.
