Six broken people walk into a Michelin-star restaurant…

Unfortunately, that’s not the opening line of a joke. It’s my life.

With my marriage in tatters, I’ve fallen into the arms of a misfit pack of damaged men trying to do the right thing. They took me in, gave me a safe place to land, and helped me through my heat when my shipment of black market blocker pills fell through.

When the ghosts of their pasts start to haunt my present, I have to choose whether to run, or stand and fight for the life I’m trying to build.

I’m surrounded by people keeping dangerous secrets. But before we can have any kind of a future together, we’ll have to put the past to rest.

Too bad the past has other ideas.
