Ten years ago, Galaxy Winthrop had a one-night stand with the hottest guy ever. Galaxy also remembered one other thing from that night -- the man's mention of the Northern California town, Sutter's Bay, where he once lived. Now, Galaxy has made it his mission to save his troubled little brother, Leo. The once-bright, bubbly kid has become sullen, quiet, and despondent. The quaint, picturesque Sutter's Bay seems the perfect location to start a new life for himself and Leo.<br><br>Adam Colfer returned to Sutter's Bay to run his dad's diner. He'd thought he'd left the town behind when he moved to San Francisco, but it seemed Sutter's Bay had other plans. After an explosive night with Galaxy a decade earlier, Adam had awoken to an empty bed. But now Galaxy is in Sutter's Bay and Adam can’t help but wonder if this is his second chance to win Galaxy's heart.

Galaxy's Heart

He’d been so deep in thought, he hadn’t noticed the guy in the parking lot until he almost ran into him. He recognized the guy with dark hair and blue highlights.


“Oh. Hi. Jude?” He remembered meeting the florist at the harvest festival and he knew his shop, St. Jude’s, was right next door.


Jude shook his hand. “Yes. You’re the artist.”


The other man laughed. “Quite right.” He flicked his head in the direction of Vic’s. “Getting a bite to eat?”


“No, I’m working there as a waiter three days a week now.”


“I’m sure he could use the help.”


Galaxy nodded. “Yes. How’s business at the shop?”


“Still recovering from Valentine’s Day.” Jude shuddered. “I’m dreading Mother’s Day next.”


“You’ve no idea. I was closing up early today. Meeting Rex.”
