Synopsis: Amateur photographer Josh Thornton is out but not so proud. He's estranged from his family, his boyfriend dumped him, and his job at an estate agency is in jeopardy--especially after he crashes his boss's car in the middle of nowhere on his way to Hartley Manor. Callum Black works at the English country estate and lives there in an isolated cottage. Left mute by a childhood accident, he's more comfortable in the company of animals than people. But when Josh--literally--crashes into his life with his camera and his friendship, Callum realizes his peaceful solitude has been more than a little lonely. Josh's affection for Callum deepens even as he's consumed by doubts over Callum's sexuality and whether Callum could ever love him. And Callum is haunted by the secret that stole his voice--a secret that keeps him tethered to Hartley Manor. When the past comes hurtling painfully back into the present, Josh and Callum have to overcome their fears and breathe life back into their dormant hearts in order to have a chance at their own picture-perfect future.
