Eight years after Gabriel Moretti’s funeral, Adrian Cole still wears his ring. Gabriel was his sworn brother, his boss, and the man Adrian loved in silence. When Gabriel died, Adrian made himself one promise: he would keep Gabriel’s son safe. Now twenty-year-old Miles Moretti has a very different idea of what he wants from Adrian. When a stranger reaches for Adrian in a crowded nightclub, Miles steps between them. Then, in front of a room full of men who will remember every word, he tells Adrian he loves him. Adrian can walk out of the club. He can order a car. He can tell himself Miles will come to his senses in the morning. But Miles knows Adrian well enough to hear what he leaves unsaid. And every time Adrian reaches for Gabriel’s ring, he has to ask himself how much of his life he still owes to the past.
