Home Then

Colton After being in the army for more than 20 years, Colton returns to his home town in Nebraska. His estranged uncle has offered him a job at his auto shop. With nothing to his name, he hopes to start over and build some sort of life. Preferably a quiet life where he doesn’t have to deal with the rest of the world. And everything is going pretty well except for the fact that he keeps running into the local vet, Henry. With his charm and boyish good looks, he stirs feelings inside Colton, which he hasn’t allowed himself to feel in a long time. But what does a middle-aged ex-soldier with a bad case of PTSD have to offer a hot, young doctor with a college degree and the whole world at his feet? Henry It was never part of his plan to come back home to small town Nebraska after college. But when the only person who had ever really been there for him - his grandma - became ill, he had to. Now, two years later, Henry is living with his grandma, working as the town vet. Life is okay. Hayley’s Peak doesn’t exactly have a vibrant gay scene like the city, but at least no one seems to mind him being out. Then one day, Colton Dietrich arrives out of nowhere. Tall, dark and brooding he is the embodiment of every wet dream, Henry has ever had. And maybe, just maybe, things can go from okay to earth-shatteringly amazing. Henry just needs to get Colton to talk to him….. Trigger Warnings: *MM romance with mature content and adult themes. Possible triggering content includes: one MC suffers from anxiety & PTSD.
