Finding happiness is one thing - keeping it is another. Finally where he’s worked so hard to be, and finally with the man he loves, Nines is on top of the world. But he’s spent his entire life hiding in plain sight, and the hardest place to hide is under the spotlight. Forced once more to play a part rather than be a person, can Nines find a way to overcome his instinct to be perfect, or will he retreat deeper into his persona until there’s nowhere left to go and he breaks completely?
