Tired of the London rat race and the heartbreak that comes with it, photographer Jas Manning returns to Porthkennack, the Cornish seaside town where he spent every childhood summer on his father's farm. Resigned to year-round rain, wind, and homemade jam, he's sorely unprepared for the impact that artsy carpenter Kim Penrose has on his heart. Kim's free-loving reputation precedes him, and he's as generous with his inked-up body as he is with his time. The sex is hot, the easy friendship even better, and Jas's time with him building his family's new farmhouse canteen is everything Jas was missing in his empty city life. But Kim's carefree existence isn't as simple as it appears. He's worked hard to vanquish his demons and build his dreams, but the devil on his shoulder is ruthless, and when it comes to call, their happy bubble bursts like it was never there at all. The canteen opening looms, but Kim is gone in more ways than one, and it's down to Jas to shore up Kim's soul and convince him that he deserves his place in Jas's heart.
