Colin is trying to make it as an artist in Paris when he runs into Thomas, and old "friend". Eventually through Colin's recollections, you find out he was kidnapped at 14 and Thomas rescued him and was his body guard. He always had a crush on Thomas and they spend the afternoon reconnecting. Thomas is only in town one night but they have an amazing time, until morning when Colin discovers that Thomas was really sent my his rich Grandfather with whom he'd had a falling out to check up on him. Needless to say he's hurt and angry. The image painted of the artists district in Paris is amazing, Josh did a great job giving you a real feel for the city which I think was as much a hero of the story as Colin and Thomas. Colin Lambert, only heir to a massive fortune, was kidnapped at age 14 and subsequently rescued by handsome F.B.I.agent, Thomas Sullivan who instantly becomes Colin's fantasy man. Traumatized and constantly under his grandfather's thumb, Colin rebels as soon as he is of age. Determined to put as much space between himself and his grandfather, Colin moves to Paris to study painting. Thomas appears out of the blue right infront of the now grown Colin in Paris. Was it really out of the blue or something planned? A fun, light read that leaves you wanting more.
