Just to Breathe

Nico Allegretti has been best friends with Matt Barnes since kindergarten. There is no one more important to Nico than Matt, and while he's known for years Matt is the one for him, he'll never tell him. He won't risk ruining their friendship.On his way to meet Matt at the restaurant, a case of mistaken identity ends with Nico in the trunk of a car. When he's released, his kidnappers give him twenty-four hours to give them what they want. The problem is, Nico has no idea what that could be.Not knowing what else to do, he turns to Matt, who is a cop. Together they go into hiding while looking for clues. Being kidnapped doesn't change Nico's resolve to not let Matt know how he feels, but hiding in a small cabin together makes it hard to ignore. Matt's small touches and compliments must mean nothing. Had Matt felt the same, he'd let him know by now ... right?
