Summary
Nick Nelson is 31 years old and has recently inherited a ferret he never wanted from his ex-boyfriend who left him to sail around the world with a "new" boyfriend just six weeks ago. He finds himself stuck not only with Ruthie the ferret, but with six more months on a lease in Rye where he never pictured himself living and knows no one.
Charlie Spring is a well-known gothic horror author who has purchased an old funeral home in Rye that he is slowly and lovingly renovating. He lets his veterinarian brother move in with him and convert the old medical facility of the home into a modern small animal clinic.
One random day, a concerned Nick brings his new ferret friend to the vet. As he sits in the waiting room, daydreaming as he frequently does about his long-lost crush from secondary school, he is shocked when a man that looks exactly like that crush steps out to call him back...
-OR- Nick and Charlie were nothing more than friendly acquaintances back at Truham and Nick has always wished he had been brave enough back then to pursue something more. Now, over a decade after the two last spoke, fate has gifted him a second chance and he is determined to make the most of it...
