The Carpenter and the Actor

A heart in hiding. A love too fierce to ignore.
Jason fled Ellery to escape his grief and the relentless gaze of the paparazzi. But returning home doesn't erase the pain — or the guilt. He's determined to keep his heart locked away... until Kieran comes crashing into his life.
Kieran sees beyond Jason's fame and broken heart. He sees the man — guarded yet longing for love. Their undeniable chemistry sparks something Jason can't ignore.
But scars run deep, and when Jason's fears threaten to drive him away, Kieran refuses to let him go without a fight. Can love mend what grief has shattered, or will Jason run before he realizes Ellery is where he belongs?
