Santino was raised by a conservative family, but he was anything but traditional. Despite the odds, there’s love to be found in the five boroughs as long as they’re willing to work for it. Men of diverse backgrounds examine their lives, test their sexual boundaries, and seek success in an unforgiving urban landscape that moves fast and stops for no one. From the glittering penthouses of Manhattan to the blue collar neighborhoods of Queens, values get tested, cultures clash, and connections made. A city where opposites attract and romance is found in unlikely places. New York City-home of soaring skyscrapers, concrete boulevards, and the hopes and dreams of millions. Now, Ashton has to decide whether to once again envelop himself in his party-boy persona, or to trust in the only man who’s ever seen the real him. But before they can figure out what it all means-and what they want to do about it-the world drags them out of their haven, revealing a secret Val has kept for years. Between Val’s training for an upcoming fight and dodging paparazzi, they succumb to their need for each other. When Ashton flees his glitzy lifestyle, he finds refuge with Val in the Bronx. And then there’s the sexual attraction between them that Val tries so hard to ignore. As the son of Ashton’s beloved nanny, Val has always bounced between resenting Ashton and regarding him as his best friend. Val’s relationship with Ashton is complicated. Most people can’t imagine him wanting for anything, but Ashton yearns for friendship, respect, and the love of his best friend-amateur boxer Valdrin Leka. The black sheep of his wealthy family, he’s known for his club appearances, Instagram account, and sex tape. Ashton Townsend is the most famous celebutante of Manhattan’s glitterati.
