It tells the story of Jack and Tristan, two best friends who are more than that. They are soul mates, but for them to realize it some changes have to happen.
Jack has been in love with Tristan for years, but he knows that it is impossible, since Tristan is straight, so he has tried to compartmentalize his feelings and bury them inside himself and instead has offered his friendship without limits. Also, Jack is a man afraid of change, rooted in his home and his work, the only thing left to him from the only family he had, his father.
And Tristan, who has had a difficult relationship with his family and has been estranged from it, has lived in denial, trying to become what he believed was expected of him. But a visit to his family shows him that this estrangement was not such, and that they were never really disappointed in him and he decides to move closer to them to recover the lost years. Unfortunately, this can cost him his friendship with Jack, due to the distance, and it is in those moments, when he begins to realize that he would not only be leaving behind his friend, but also someone who could be his future. It is then that he begins to show Jack what it could be if Jack were to believe that this change of heart on Tristan's part is real, and worth the risk.
A good story, and a good ending for this series. It's always nice to meet old characters from previous books and see how they continue to live their HEA, and also get to know a little about those who will give way to a new series.
