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

“Sit there,” Leo said, pointing at a dining room chair. “I’ll make the tea.”


“Just do as you’re told for once, Galaxy.” Leo went into the kitchen and filled up the electronic tea kettle.


Galaxy took the seat. “I’m not an invalid. I don’t need to be waited on.”


His brother nodded. “I know, but I just found you unconscious. Shall I call for an ambulance after all?”


He sighed. “All right. I’m sorry. I get your point.”


“Thank you. How was your day really? Are you sure it’s not too much?”


“It was pretty busy. More customers came than I expected I guess, but it’s not something I can’t handle. Just out of practice is all.”


Leo poured the boiling water into a personal sized teapot he had filled with loose tea. “Well, just be careful, please? I know you don’t think so, but you have been having more headaches. Maybe you should make a doctor’s appointment.”


He nodded. “I will. Hey, but listen to this. I have a date.” It felt good to change the subject.
