Oliver Cane has his dream job as a book publicist and his dream man—until he finds his boyfriend buried five inches deep in someone else. Heartbroken, Oli throws himself into work, preparing for the movie release of a book adaptation for one of his lead titles. The perfect distraction comes in the form of a handsome man having a breakdown in the toilets at the film's premiere. The two of them comfort each other and then make a deal—one night of anonymity and passion as they lose themselves in each other. But it only takes a single night for Oli's life to change, when he discovers that the mysterious man he nicknamed Adonis is actually Nikos Ridge, the mega-star of the movie that Oli's helped to promote.
Chased by the past that he can never escape from and drowning in depression, addiction, and anxiety, Nikos Ridge finds himself seeking comfort in a cute British boy. All is fun and games until his demons return. Lies become tangled, and secrets blur his reality. Nikos is forced to face the past if he wants a future—but the universe has other plans. Ones that could ruin his life. Oli and Nikos are brought together and then torn apart by secrets, as they try and navigate a world that will never let them be together—and the sense that they're both falling in love with each other even as it's not meant to be.
