Owen Quinn has been trailing after his brother's best friend since he was a kid, but what everyone took as admiration has always been love. For years, he's had to keep his distance because the object of his affection has always been taken. Now with his father sick and the career he's been planning since he was in high school circling the drain, the one person who's there for him is the man he loves, but can't have.

Mickey Martin is practically a member of the Quinn family. He grew up sneaking sips of sacramental wine in the church storage room with Keegan, looking after Owen, and since he was fifteen, working for Brendan. When his mom passed away, they were right there by his side. He owes the Quinns everything, but now his love for the youngest Quinn might cost him all that he holds dear.
