Stubbed Toes and Dating Woes

Will their treasure hunt lead them to true love or fool's gold?

Niclas Ruiz loves digging in the dirt for ancient artifacts. He's obsessed with old words and lives in his own world. His summers are often spent traveling to new places to hunt for treasure with his trusty metal detector while trying not to get lost or stumble off a cliff.

Love has never been high on his priority list. His being autistic and asexual has often been a hurdle for other people. But he's happy enough to plod along on his own with his horde like a fairy-tale dragon.

But sometimes, he allows himself to dream about a man out of his reach.

Two things about Falk "Grizz" Evensen are certain. He runs a successful security firm and has been hopelessly in love with his best friend's younger brother for many years. Neither of them has ever dared to test the waters.

When Niclas plans to visit Cornwall for the summer, his older brother convinces Falk to join him under the auspices of keeping him safe.

Is this May-December romance doomed to be derailed by fears of unrequited love?
