Gil: I used to be tired of working the police defeat in North Cali. Exhausted-my whole body was yearning for a location I hadn’t experienced years, my previous home. When my mama died, I knew I had formed another, and a pay out bump and fresh job as law enforcement chief sealed the offer.

I got from heartbreak. From getting so tired. From your constant, never-ending world of crime I’d come to learn.

In Abingdon, I can relax, see all my older friends from Jackson Academy. Maybe I can actually change this place just a little, make it about Steele My Heart better for all the children like me. The types who were different, who often needed a place a little bigger and broader when compared to a small mountain town could provide.

I usually promised myself I wouldn’t keep coming back. But Kendall Vincent-he might just get me to stay for good. When I’m in his arms, I feel full, whole again, just like a guy reborn to the world.

Everything seems best, till the moment that it’s not. When two gay kids get hurt bad by a gang of thugs, I recognize that Abingdon needs me a lot more than I thought. And I’m here to safeguard the town-and the man-that I’m growing to love.

Contains mature themes.
