Empty hearts, and hopes.
Aden aged out of the foster care system. He built a life, bought a house...and fell in love with Niall, a blue-eyed Irish Dom who owned his heart. When Niall accepted a job in California, Aden couldn't bear to relinquish the stable life he'd finally built for himself in Florida, and they tearfully said goodbye. Unfortunately, Niall took Aden's heart with him. When Aden meets Etsu five years later, he hopes maybe his empty heart can finally heal. Etsu grew up smothered by crazy-overprotective parents and her asthma, but Aden's patient enough to try to win her trust, and win over her family.
 Except Niall's back and wants to reclaim what's his-Aden. If Etsu's part of the bargain, even better. When past and present are forced together in a life-threatening situation, the question is can they make this work? Or will happiness be snatched from their hands before they even have a chance to savor it?
