Publisher's Synopsis
With so many fences between them and happily ever after, two men wonder if it's worth opening the gate. Ten years ago, Eddie Crane, an actor on the rise, loved his costar and dreamed of the day they could be together. But his love, with his submissive nature, couldn't handle fame, and before Eddie could help him, he died in a car accident-with Eddie at the wheel.Now, scarred and guilt-ridden, Eddie buries himself in bad decisions and prays that a stunt-on or off camera-will go wrong.Teenaged fantasies about the actor on his wall distracted Arthur Pike from real life-his dead father, runaway mother, gruff grandparents, and his unrequited love for his cousin's straight husband. Now grown and off the farm, Pike is a horse stuntman hired to teach a reluctant Eddie to ride.Pike is drawn to Eddie's dominant nature despite the sadness clinging to the actor. Eddie let one lover down, but in Pike's submissiveness, he sees the possibility for redemption.
