*** In Pittsburgh, Spencer is a doctor at the busy trauma Center. He has a job he loves and a great life. The only blot on his perfection is his teen love, Jesse, who betrayed him 15 years ago, when they were teens, and he can't forgive that. When his college and friend has breakfast with him, it's only hours later, when his friend is on his operating table after a horrific car crash. Spencer is devastated; he couldn't save him. He's given leave to recover and grieve, so he heads to his Dad and step-dad's home. While there he comes face to face with Jesse. Is there a spark?
They have sex and talk and argue, but the feelings of love are still there, and Spencer fights it. Jesse ends up in the hospital twice, both Spencer's fault, sort of. They do spend some time together. Jesse is up front, open, and declares he is still in love. When a longtime friend is mugged and beaten in Pittsburgh, he goes back to be there for him. Much begins to happen, as Jesse follows him to Pittsburgh to try to make their love work out.
We are thrown into a wild string of events, where Spencer's injured friend, Will, is found to be a schemer with a twisted mind. Poor Jesse is targeted, kidnapped, tortured, and rescued.
This is well written and riveting, as we watch the tale unfold. I was miffed at Spencer in the beginning, but he redeemed himself later.
We get an HEA, and a nice epilogue !
ENJOY !
