Nash is feeling lonely after his former military housemates move out, leaving only Forest — his friend’s younger brother, who’s grown into someone impossible for Nash not to notice. Forest is sweet, sassy, and far too tempting, but Nash believes he’s too old and too damaged to deserve someone so good. When Forest falls seriously ill, Nash becomes the only person he’ll let close. Determined to protect him, Nash even agrees to a marriage of convenience so Forest can have health insurance. But as their fake marriage deepens into something real, Nash struggles with his feelings and fears. Forest may need his care, but Nash has to find the courage to admit he needs Forest just as much.
I loved this story which was a beautifully emotional journey between two men who never expected to need each other as deeply as they do. Nash’s quiet loneliness and Forest’s vulnerability create a tender, slow‑building connection that feels both intimate and inevitable. What begins as care and protection — a marriage of convenience born from fear and compassion — slowly transforms into something far more powerful. The heart of the book lies in the way these two men love: Nash with his steady devotion and aching self‑doubt, Forest with his fierce loyalty and surprising strength. Their relationship grows through small moments of trust, shared fears, and the dawning realisation that they’re each other’s safe place. It’s emotional, heartfelt, and full of the kind of love that sneaks up on you and refuses to let go. This was an MM story with mature content.
