“Leo finished tidying up and when he stood back to admire his work, tried again to picture the house from Caleb’s point of view.
Would he remember when they painted the feature wall in the dining room? When they got more paint on themselves and the drop cloth than the wall? Would he remember picking the tile in the kitchen? Would he remember the first time he cooked Leo dinner in their kitchen? Would he remember Leo that fucked him against the counter afterwards, desperate and desperately in love?
Leo decided it wouldn’t matter, because he remembered. He couldn’t forget.”
When Caleb Chance walked out in Detroit five years ago, leaving his band, millions of his fans and his lover behind, Leo knew he could never forgive.
Some things, no matter what the cause, are unforgivable.
But Leo never expected Caleb to show up again, clean and sober and wanting to get their band, Star Shadow, back together. He definitely never expected to agree to Caleb’s plan.
He never expected to confront the love of his life again—or the disaster of his past, the hopelessness of his future, and every terrible thing he’s been carrying inside him.
But maybe some things aren’t so terrible after all.

““I was just thinking of the last bow, the one we took when we didn’t know it was the last one,” Benji admitted.
After a moment of hesitation—which Benji understood entirely, their friendship sometimes seemed like a walk through a minefield—Diego pulled him into a hug. His hands hovered over Diego’s shoulders before giving in and gripping him tightly.
They stood there together for a long moment, holding on to each other. Benji let his head fall down to Diego’s shoulder, but otherwise they didn’t move.”
When Benji saw Diego for the first time, he never expected to fall irrevocably and painfully in love with him.
It wasn't something either of them could face, so he buried it. For ten long years.
Ten years during which he survived the pain of his own disastrous marriage and the heartbreak of watching Diego raise a child with another woman.
Through the heights of rock stardom and the depths of their band imploding, Benji's heart always came back to Diego. To his best friend. His bandmate. His secret desire.
Now, enough is enough.
He knows Diego loves him too. He knows they could have it all, no holds barred, with every string attached -- if only they can find the courage to bring their feelings into the spotlight.
It's time to tackle the impossible: life-altering, world-shaking, totally inevitable love.

““I just want to know. Is this new?” Max asked.
“Is what new?”
“That you’re attracted to me,” Max said, forcing himself to stay calm.
“Who says I’m attracted to you?” Felix wondered.
Max rolled his eyes. “Please, I saw what I saw. And I heard plenty. You don’t just think my dick is ‘okay.’ That wasn’t just ‘Max’s dick is okay’ behavior, and you know it.””
Felix Humphries can’t even remember the first time he crushed on Star Shadow’s drummer, Max McCloud.
It’s been an embarrassingly long time, but he’s still never acted on his feelings. One, because Max is his older brother’s best friend. Two, because Max is also his friend. Three, Max is technically his boss. And four, worst of all, Max is straight.
But when Max unexpectedly needs a caretaker for a few weeks, Felix can’t leave his friend in the lurch. He’s all ready to suffer through being so close but not close enough, when the unexpected happens.
Max isn’t straight after all, and what Max wants is Felix—but only in his bed, not in his heart.

““You wrote that for me,” Leo said unsteadily.
“It could only be about you,” Caleb said simply.
“It’s not just about me. It’s about us. You were telling me, the whole time, that you would come back to me, even when you didn’t know how you could.”
“I never stopped loving you,” Caleb vowed, “and I never stopped trying. And I never will.””
Star Shadow invites you to one last show . . .
Leo and Caleb have been through hell—addiction, destruction, and even a five year separation—but they’ve come through on the other side with their love stronger than ever.
Caleb knows he’s earned Leo’s forgiveness. He wants to believe he deserves it, but just when Leo needs him more than ever, a voice in his head insists that maybe he doesn't. It’s so loud, he can't block it out. So loud, he’d do anything to silence it.
Including risking everything he and Leo, and the rest of Star Shadow, have built together.

““Technically,” Leo said, nuzzling into the warmth and strength of his husband, “we’re already married so tomorrow isn’t even our wedding.”
Caleb’s glance down was full of amused love and affection. “What is it then?” he wondered.
“It’s a celebration. Of how fucking amazing we are,” Leo declared. “How incredible we are together.”
“We kinda are,” Caleb said. He pressed another, longer kiss to Leo’s lips. “I love you. I’ve loved you forever, you know.”
