After the meal, the black guy introduces himself as Roarke, and compliments Landon on the service. There is an immediate spark between the two men, and that spark is kindled further when both admit to being gay. So begins a relationship which moves along rapidly. Both Landon and Roarke are fully committed to each other, and Landon is delighted when he finds out Roarke owns his own restaurant. Before long Landon is living and working with Roarke, and enjoying great sex.

The bond between them strengthens; they get married and plan an exciting future remodelling Roarke's restaurant. However, their happiness takes a few hard knocks when disaster strikes. Is their love strong enough to see them through the bad times as well as the good...?
