No matter what mountains we face, we'll climb them together.

Greg Westin's thriving career as a landscape photographer is a passion he's built and cultivated for decades. Although he's now well into his mid-fifties, Greg is always looking forward, eager for the next mountain to climb, the next trail to hike, the next photo to capture. His love of nature and photography is second only to his love for his husband, Allen—a man with a heart of gold and more kindness and compassionate that anyone he's ever known.

Allen Westin has worked hard to build a life he loves—a life that is not defined by the trauma he suffered in his childhood, but by the community and people he's surrounded himself with. His career at the public library in the small town of North Bend, Washington has given him a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and his marriage to his best friend and husband, Greg, has filled his life with joy, love, and adventure.

But when an incident at the library sets off Allen's deeply rooted anxiety and depression, he and Greg have to face a new challenge—one where the next mountain to be conquered isn't out on the trail at all.

They must trust in the depth of their love to help them find their footing as they forge ahead into the next phase of their journey toward their forever, together.

Every minute away from you is a minute too long.

Coop

It's been ten years since he kissed me, and I can still feel it—his warm lips, his soft touch. He was my best friend, but then he abandoned me just before my entire life fell apart.

When he shows up at the diner where I work, with his fancy job, new car, and beautiful fiancée, my heart feels like it's being ripped in two. Should I bury my feelings, forget the past, and give him a second chance at rebuilding our friendship, even though I know it can never be anything more than that?

Josh

Ten years ago, I made the worst decision of my life in the aftermath of the only kiss that ever meant something to me. I never stopped loving him, even if I didn't get to tell him that.

When I run into Coop at a small diner in rural Nebraska, all those feelings I suppressed for years are back, threatening to upend the perfect life I'd built. I've got two weeks to convince him I'm sorry. But can I keep my other feelings locked away, or will that sexy baseball cap of his be my undoing?
