Determined not to end up like his seventy-year-old diabetic father, Holton knows he needs to make a change. His quest to improve his health drives him to the gym, where he meets Marcus, a trainer with the body of a demigod. For three months Holton works hard, watches what he eats, drops a few poundsโand catches Marcus's eye not only for his slimmer body but for his dedication.
Holton can barely believe it when Marcus asks him out, but he isnโt about to say no. Despite several common interests, though, Marcus and Holton have some roadblocks to overcome. A harrowing event from Holtonโs past has made him gun-shy, and Marcus has insecurities of his own. If their relationship is going to work, theyโll have to get past their hang-ups and prove that what really matters is the man inside.
