Duke

Life is good.

It didn't used to be.

Shame, prostitution, abuse – you name it, I knew about it.

I finally felt I could move on, and get my life back on track. I had a stable job and a very healthy sex life. Then he sauntered in, large as life, and everything went to the wall.

Old feelings reared their head and I couldn't forget him, no matter how hard I tried.

I hated him. Loathed him. So why did I want him so badly?

Simon

Life is good.

It didn't used to be.

Guilt, depression, anxiety – I knew all about it.

I was doing well. A thriving business, bucketloads of cash, and finally, a light at the end of the tunnel.

But a chance meeting and he's back in my life again, sending everything into a tailspin.

I hated him. Loathed him. So why was that kiss all I could think about?

When Duke and Simon meet again sparks fly. First hate, then lust. Can they finally put the past behind them and move on together? Will Simon ever stop judging Duke for the mistake he made?
