   Summary

   Kyle has a good boyfriend. Eric Bennett is everything he ever wanted.

   But that hasn’t always been the case, and as they settle in their lives together, Kyle has to face the reality of his last relationships or risk losing his new one.

   Eric isn’t going to let the man he love blame himself for things he didn’t do one more second.
