Yet after two years, he's ready for their secret affair to transform into a public commitment. Can a week in the mountains, away from the pressures and expectations surrounding them, help to cement the relationship enough for Reed to publicly admit his love for Drew? Or will everything fall apart, causing the lovers to separate forever, no matter how painful the parting?Confrontation, revelation, and steamy nights of hot, searing sex could make all the difference in the world...
