    About this ebook

    Can a man rebuild his life after he's faced the devastating humiliation of the world finding out he's gay?

    Drunk and distraught over a news report about his sexuality, Hollywood movie star Heath Evans accidently drives his truck into a freeway embankment. He welcomes death, figuring it is better than being ostracized by his fans.

    Physical therapist, Seiji Kichida doesn't let the crude and often rude actor faze him with his insults and stereotypical comments. He just goes on about his job tending the wounded actor whom he's idolized since he arrived in the United States. Can Seiji help the man who has serious hang-ups about his sexuality or will Heath's rage scare him away? Or will he succumb to the man's sensual glances and tender advances?
