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

“Let you? I’d love it. Spruce the place up a bit.” Adam smiled. “Would you like to come see my boat tomorrow night? I’m not open on Mondays so maybe you’d want to stay over.”


“I’d love to see it. We’ll see about staying over. I’m not sure Leo should be left home alone.”


Adam crossed his arms. “What’s Leo? Nineteen?”


“Yeah, he is. And I know. We’ll see. It’s…Leo has had some things happen and I’m just cautious.”


He nodded. “No pressure. But you do want to come? Say four? So we have time to enjoy the daylight a bit.”


Galaxy kissed him. “I definitely want that.” 6


Galaxy parked his car in the public parking lot adjacent to the docks where Sutter’s Bay’s boats were slipped. It had turned into a simply gorgeous Sunday. Not a cloud in the shockingly vibrant blue sky. The temperature was a perfect seventy-five with a very slight ocean breeze. Days like this were surely why the city of Sutter’s Bay had been founded in the first place.
