How he not only fell in love with an ex-gang member and a state prosecutor, but how they were all three lucky enough to fall in love with each other. Josiah watched him, wondering how this happened. Aren’t you supposed to drink somethin’ to celebrate shit like this?” Mateo stepped around them, fingering one of the earrings in his ear. They’d get there, and things were better. There had never been a second he believed everything would get magically fixed in that one night but they were on the right path. Josiah didn’t doubt that, even if Tristan hadn’t said it again since the one time the words left his lips two weeks before. Tristan could play this off however he wanted. I don’t waste money on things that I don’t feel are important-on things where I don’t see a profit.” That was something they needed to work on. “It’s nothing.” Tristan shook his head, uncomfortable with praise, as always. Tristan was like Teo in that he didn’t realize how big his heart was-at least when it came to Josiah. “I can’t believe you did this for me.” Though he really could believe it. Josiah turned to Tristan in his perfect suit, and studied the sharp cut of his jaw. Teo had physically saved him more than once and now he owed Tristan his dream-the only thing beside the two men standing next to him that he felt could complete him, in a way. In so many ways, Josiah owed Teo his life.
This being his dream-the one thing Tristan and Teo had both insisted they made time to get done, sooner rather than later. They hadn’t had much time for anything between Tristan being busy at work, getting Rhonda settled back into her apartment, and now this. In the two weeks since they’d gotten Rhonda back, and Tristan had come home to Josiah and Teo, things hadn’t stopped moving.
Josiah stood in the middle of the building that would soon be his coffee house. And when an old enemy returns and threatens the foundation of their new life, decisions will be made, and boundaries will be tested that could change their lives forever. To do that, Josiah, Mateo, and Tristan must learn to get over the pasts that have defined who they are. The only way to complete their full circle is for all their pieces, despite the curves and rough edges, to fit together perfectly. But what happens if the balance shifts? What happens when someone doesn’t play the right part? If one of them falters, they all feel the strain. To keep the balance intact, they all have their roles to play. Tristan must let go of his past, must learn how to need, and what it really means to take care of someone. Mateo wants to absolve himself of his sins. All he wants is to give his men what they need. They know what they want-each other-but with three people as broken as they are, all those pieces aren't so easily mended. Nothing in life is ever easy, and no one is more painfully aware of that than Josiah Evans, Mateo Sanchez, and Tristan Croft.
