"A Resilient Love Story "

Loren Smith has been in love with Eliot Devlin almost his entire life. During their turbulent childhood and teen years, Loren didn t always understand Eliot, and sometimes he could be a challenge, but Eliot was the only one to ever truly ease Loren s deep loneliness and accept him. When Eliot s increasingly erratic and self-destructive behavior culminates in a suicide attempt at seventeen, Loren is devastated.

Upon meeting again by chance nine years later, Loren is enjoying a successful career as a police officer while Eliot s life has been a constant struggle for stability. In and out of mental hospitals, with a rap sheet a mile long, he continues to be buffeted by the twin storms of mania and depression. Loren s love and protectiveness for Eliot are deeply ingrained in him, however, and their feelings for each other are quickly rekindled.

Loren has issues of his own he s dealing with, and trying to understand and cope with Eliot s bipolar disorder isn t easy. They believe they re meant to be, and Eliot brings a fulfillment to Loren s life that no one else will ever match. But as they both come to realize, love by itself can t cure all. "
