After years of drowning myself in parties, hookups, and pain, all it takes is one viral sex tape to be given a choice: Hide out on an island or lose my trust fund.
Having to share a room with the one man I let hurt me is my worst nightmare. I'm the broken shell of the boy he walked away from on the worst day of my life. I hate him almost as much as I hate myself. This island was supposed to be a place I could rest, but instead, I'm running. From Asher Vaughn. From myself. From the scars on my heart that never healed. It hurts to look at him and see all the things we never got to have. How can I keep him at arm's length when he watches me the way he used to? When he touches me? When he calls me his? We can't be together, not off this island. The straight football star and the gay femme son of famous parents. The media would rip us apart and ruin his career. I barely survived the last time he left me. Can I survive being deserted again? Broken is a brother's best friend, mm romance with some praise kink, and a broken boy in desperate need of love.
