Arriving at Manhattan Memorial, he finds a beautiful young man restrained to a gurney. His eyes are wild with fear, and blood stains his skin. No one has been successful in getting him to speak. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When even he can't get the young man to cooperate, William does something he may later come to regret--he extends an invite to his home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The young man is non-verbal, angry, and at times openly hateful.

His nightmares return, sleep becomes a lost cause, and the dark voices in his head are out for blood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Amid their co-dependent isolation, William's feelings evolve. Lines are blurred, and then crossed altogether as they start down a path riddled with secrets and lies of omission. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The only thing that can set them both free is the truth. But maybe some things are better left buried. Because if the ugliest parts of William are ever unearthed, no one will be spared. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Only the Small Bones is an MM romance, and book one in the standalone series Slow Burns \u0026amp; Tragic Beginnings.
