Summary: In the aftermath of Doyle’s rescue from the clutches of a vicious, sadistic gang, the partners become closer than ever.
However it's obvious that Doyle is deeply scarred from his ordeal. In an effort to help him, Bodie takes him away from the pressures of London for a short stay in the quiet English countryside.
There, they meet a charming, enigmatic man whose interest in Bodie undermines Doyle’s confidence even further.
Can Bodie ever bring happiness and security to the man he loves, or will Doyle be lost to him forever?

I've just finished reading the story and I'm so glad Bodie could be strong for Doyle and that Doyle could find a reason for hanging in there for Bodie. Handling such difficult and sensitive subject-matter could not have been easy, so well done, you, for doing it.

'Handling such difficult and sensitive subject-matter could not have been easy, so well done, you, for doing it.'

It wasn't too bad after a while 'cos I knew what happened in the end :)
