Sean and Nick's life together was a fairy tale: childhood friends who became lovers, high school sweethearts who married after college, both handsome professionals. Sean always enjoyed a few drinks, but after the death of his father, his alcoholism spiraled out of control... and it cost him everything. When Sean loses his job and becomes too surly and unreasonable to live with, Nick has little choice but to end the relationship. Sean can't blame Nick for giving up-not after the arguments and the lies-but he longs for the happiness and love they shared before he spoiled everything. He resolves to get sober and win back his husband. But even if he wins his battle with alcoholism, will it be too late to save his marriage?
