Until a chance meeting at a rooftop party brings Blake into his life. Blake, who's sunny presence suddenly fills Jude's empty life with laughter and happiness. Blake, who breaks down Jude's walls layer by layer and brick by brick. Blake, who makes Jude break every one of his rules. Blake, who makes Jude fall in love. But Jude's not the only one with secrets in his past, so what happens when the truth comes out? Will falling in love be enough to overcome all the challenges life has thrown in their path?
