He spends his days being overlooked, and that’s the way he likes it. He has no desire to be noticed… until one fateful night. Now he has the one man he's always fantasized about, the one man he shouldn’t want, watching him as he dances, and first the first time he craves to be seen. When two worlds collide can secrets be kept? When the truth comes out can you convince the one person who refuses to trust, that you are there for them? Roman just wants to show Trey that he belongs to him, that he can give him everything he needs… But when tragedy strikes can Trey depend on him for the support he needs?
