Gideon Eric Bishop lost everything when he came outhis family, his fortune and his best friend. Over the years, he's shoved himself back into the closet. Going by his middle name, he's successfully remained celibate, kept to himself, and life has taken on some semblance of normalcy. Then he gets a phone call from his mother, begging him to come home as his father is gravely ill, but Gideon cannot figure out why his presence would matter. Still, like a dutiful son, he returns to the fold and walks head first into Kellan O'Brien.
For as long as Dr. Kellan O'Brien has known what love was, he's been in it with Gideon. Kellan felt things for the then eighteen-year-old he was pretty sure would send him to hell. But Kellan was too old, and Gideon wasn't gay.
