Description

Fifteen years ago, Declan Barclay left home determined to escape the expectations of his powerful family and pursue his dream of becoming an artist.

What he didn’t expect was to meet Colin Shelby.

Soft-spoken, mysterious, and a rising actor struggling to find his place in the world, Colin quickly becomes more than just a friend. Declan takes him under his wing, and the two grow inseparable—until the night before graduation, when one crossed line changes everything.

And Colin disappears from his life.

Years later, fate brings them together again under the most complicated circumstances imaginable.

Declan has agreed to host a high-profile celebrity wedding at his family’s manor. The event is crucial for his family’s reputation and business.

There’s just one problem.

The groom is Colin Shelby.

Now, with only seven days before the wedding, Declan is forced to face the past—and the feelings he never truly let go of. Colin once slipped through his fingers, and this time might be his last chance to fight for the man he still loves.

But risking everything could destroy his family’s plans, his reputation, and the carefully built life he’s created.

And if Declan makes the wrong move, he could lose Colin forever.
