Nicholas is drowning. The only thing keeping him afloat is his grandfather’s failing ice cream shop, a place of sweet memories and mounting debt. Haunted by a past that left him shattered, he hides his true, vulnerable self from the world, convinced he is a broken, unlovable freak. His life is a quiet, lonely routine of survival.
Until Garrett walks in.
Older, powerful, and radiating a calm, confident authority that both terrifies and fascinates Nick, Garrett is everything he is not. He’s a man who sees through the shy, clumsy boy behind the counter to the secret pain hidden beneath. He sees a boy who needs protecting, a boy who needs a Daddy.
A chance encounter in a rainstorm becomes an opportunity, and a fragile, tentative bond begins to form. For Nick, Garrett's gentle, unwavering acceptance is a balm on wounds he thought were fatal. For Garrett, Nick is the sweet, good boy he had given up hope of ever finding.
But as their unconventional love blossoms, the ghosts of Nick’s past return, threatening to destroy the beautiful, safe world they’ve started to build. Garrett has promised to be his armor, his shield. But can a boy who has only ever known cruelty learn to accept a love so total, a care so complete, that it redefines his entire world?
