Joe and Leo have lived on the streets, and in their rent boy alley, for over four years together. Joe is bolshie and strong and was previously the head alley boy before the role was taken from him. Leo is…different, and Joe’s been looking after him for the past four years since he arrived, to help him survive the harsh street living. 

When their alley is visited by a Dominant guy called Layton, and his sweet submissive boy Isaac, looking for a very young boy they’ve been told about, Leo’s differences, and his secrets, are accidently discovered by Isaac. When it’s found out that Leo is a blatant masochist with a strong desire and need for pain, Joe realises they can’t stay. 

Joe is taken aback with the secrets that Leo has been hiding, but he knows they can’t stay in the alley anymore. When Layton offers to take them somewhere safe so they can decide what they’re going to do next, Joe is overwhelmed but agrees as his other choice to leave the alley for the vanilla streets, would be a death sentence for Leo. 

When they find themselves drawn into a whole secret kink community…it changes everything, as they are thrust together, and then torn apart.  

Joe, confused and overwhelmed, heads back to his old life, ignoring his broken heart, and everything that touched him while he was away. When he realises he’s can’t hide from it, he makes a choice that takes him down an even darker path. As more of Leo’s past comes to light, he finds understanding in someone completely unexpectedly, and his choices take him on a different path where he discovers his true self. 

It will take new and old friends to fight for them both, to help them understand that love doesn’t just have to be between two people, and to reunite them for their HEA.
