Publisher's Summary
Zack lost his job, his apartment, and his hope, which is why he ends up on the roof of a high-rise, certain that one final step will solve his problems. But a mysterious stranger named Rob happens to be on the roof that night too. He talks Zack down, convincing him there's still hope left in the world. Zack thinks maybe he's right, which is why he's shocked when he turns on the news the next morning to find out Rob jumped himself. Disturbed and confused, he searches for answers, starting with Rob's brother, Tommy Rayburn.
It's been Tommy's job to take care of his brother since they were kids, taking the blows from their father so Rob wouldn't have to. Tommy thought he could protect him, even if it meant carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Considering Rob threw himself off a building, he obviously couldn't.
Then he meets Zack, a friend of Rob's who's suspiciously evasive about how they knew each other. But they're both grieving and determined to find out why Rob jumped. Answers don't come easily, and soon they're soothing each other with sweat-slicked, passionate encounters. Hot as things get in the bedroom, it doesn't take them long to realize there's more between them than mind-blowing sex and their pain. But the heaviness is still there, threatening to pull them under, and if they can't open up with each other to lighten the load, the weight just might be enough to crush them both.

A Perfectly Heartwarming Story
This story is so uniquely beautiful and heart warming. It felt like listening to an old friend in this cold wintry night.

Great story 😭 and 😀
I love when Riley and Devon work together. Everything they write together is great. This one is def one of them.
It's about suicide and I have experience with that so I could relate to both these characters looking for answers. At times it is very sad and will likely hit even harder if u have dealt with it yourself but it is also happy and I loved it. I loved how these 2 characters bonded and grew closer together with their shared heartache and helped each other heal. They had a great instant chemistry and the way the ending is written is just so beautiful.
Michael Pauley is great as always. My fav Narrator.
