Summary

What do a shy French-horn-playing accountant and a single dad trans trumpet player have in common other than both being members of the community orchestra at Theatr Fach in the little town of Llanbaruc?
Gethin's been more or less hiding from life since his marriage broke up a couple of years ago. He joined the orchestra because his sister told him he needed a hobby rather than sitting at home brooding about his divorce. 
Martin is careful who he dates because of his gender and his teenage daughter. He came to Llanbaruc as a stage manager for the Theatr Fach twelve years ago. He has a good set of friends here. Shannon's a good kid. They're a team. 
Martin and Gethin hit it off. Will their mutual baggage prove too much to sustain a relationship?
Available since: 11/19/2022.

    Chased by the past that he can never escape from and drowning in depression, addiction, and anxiety, Nikos Ridge finds himself seeking comfort in a cute British boy.

Ones that could ruin his life.
