Far From Home

Cody
Even after living abroad for a year, I still feel a little like an alien—a Canadian man trying to make a life in Belgium. I barely speak the language, my family’s all back in Canada, and I don’t know many people outside of work. That’s why I never expected to find love here. I’m only supposed to be here temporarily. But when I meet Luc, a bratty, twenty-one-year-old baker from France, I start to think I was wrong. From the moment we meet, I’m intrigued beyond belief. Before I know it, I’m picturing us as a couple, imagining our future together. But dating a younger guy comes with its challenges, and Luc is no exception. He’s especially good at keeping me on my toes, and I can’t help but wonder: will this lead to love … or heartbreak?

Luc
Moving to Brussels wasn’t my decision. To this day, I resent my father for making us move, and not a day goes by that I don’t dream of returning to France. Being torn away from my home country is one of the reasons I keep my distance from people. There are several others…but I’ve never told anyone those. At least, not until Cody stumbles into my life. This slightly older Canadian man seems determined to win my heart and uncover all my secrets, and before long, all the lines start to blur. He makes me question everything I thought I believed, and now I have to decide: will I finally learn to trust someone again? Or will I add another layer of bricks to the walls I’ve built around myself?
