As the warmer days of summer gave way to the shortened, crisp days of fall, my life changed in the most unexpected of ways. I met two men and was not prepared for either of them. Theo was warm, generous, and easygoing; whereas, Wyatt was intense, serious, and protective. They share a past that neither one are honest about. Whatever happened all those years ago has created an undeniable rift between them. Augmenting the charged and confounding emotions of new love, our city has been terrorized by a serial killer, and I can feel someone watching me.
