On a cold, wet afternoon Damian stumbles across a young man huddled beneath a tree crying his eyes out. He's got more than enough problems of his own, but is compelled to give the bloke a place to crash for at least the night.

Josh is used to being alone, and most days it's easier than trying to deal with people who can't, or won't, understand him. When Damian takes him in for the night, Josh assumes it's gong to be one more go round of sex and get out in the morning.

Neither of them expects the friendship that develops, and they're far from prepared when friendship starts to turn into more.


(Scarred Souls contains depictions of self-harm, a flashback to abuse, and mentions of abuse and non-consensual sex.)
