    Summary

    Jared grew up being tormented by his classmates and emotionally neglected by his parents. He fell into an abusive relationship, but after almost seven years, he is finally free. But can he be persuaded that life is really worth living?

    Jensen grew up with everything being handed to him on a silver platter. But found out that having everything you could ever want does not ensure the happiness he so desperately sought. Now that he has struck out on his own, will he be able to make a success of himself on his own two feet?

    They couldn't be any more different from each other, yet they find they are drawn to one another from their first chance encounter. But will a misunderstanding destroy the chance for their happily-ever-after? And will Jensen be able to convince Jared to give him another chance because life really is worth living?

    *****

    This is a darker story with some moments of dark and painful thoughts. Past abuse, both sexual, mental, and physical, is explored and discussed. But there is a happy ending. Really.
