Trapped in a body heavily inked with the shame of his past, Reese’s self-loathing keeps him from fully embracing his freedom after six years of prison. Until a man walks into the café where Reese works, and changes the course of both their lives.

It’s hard to maintain a stable relationship when you work irregular hours and you never know when you’ll have to put your life on the line. Rick decides to play it subtle with the new girl he’s interested in, leaving little notes and flowers on her car. Unfortunately for him, he’s got the wrong car.

So he’s given up, feeling like a Frankenstein’s monster with the unattractive scars on his legs. The last thing he needs is a deranged stalker leaving sweet nothings on his windshield. But life is unpredictable, and what begins as a potential comedy of errors may just become something serious. If a certain straight detective can look beyond mere gender, and if a certain accountant can take a leap of faith. You can’t always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need… less
