About this ebook
After Colton’s father died, his mother returned to her hometown of Cambridge, UK, leaving him to his life in New York. He’s happy, apart from only being able to see his mother once a year at Christmas. It’s during one visit, he meets Ioan, a carer, who lights him up like a Christmas tree. It makes the experience more special because Ioan understands how Colton feels when his mother doesn’t recognise him.
Ioan loves his job, but his heart breaks every time pain flares through Colton’s eyes, especially as he knows Colton’s time in the UK is short. When he gets the opportunity to visit New York, he doesn’t entertain the thought of bumping into Colton – after all, the city is enormous. When he meets up with him by chance, he tries to hide how happy he is, pushing down the feelings before they could escape.
The more time they steal together, the closer they become, but nothing can happen with three thousand miles between them. Ioan has experience of long-distance relationships, and he’ll never go there again.
Find out what happens when their decisions set them on a path of heartache and happiness.

About the author
Elouise East writes sweet and steamy connections in gay romance. She also touches on taboo stories under the name Elouise R East. She writes books that are emotionally realistic, even if liberties are taken with other aspects of the stories. She doesn’t know any other way to write. It comes from deep inside.
Books that tell the stories where friendship and family are the focal point - be it blood family or chosen - are very important to her. That’s why she includes a variety of personalities, talents, ages, situations and abilities.
Her characters come to life on the page for her as well as her readers, their stories unfolding in front of her as she writes. Just like real life, the lives of her characters change with every choice, every interaction and every conversation. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. She wants her characters to be real, to be relatable, to be free to have whatever views they tell her they have. And trust her, most of the time, she does not have any say in the matter!
