State Of Mind — E.M. Lindsey

Whatever happens in the future, whatever we become in life, know you're the best thing that ever happened to me. Taking up shop in a former kosher bakery, Wilder Torres aches to find out who he is beyond his dark past. He hides his scars under long sleeves, and his nightmares behind a soft smile, and he's very careful not to let anyone close. And then he meets Luca Moretti, a stranger sitting on a park bench, looking as lost as Wilder had once been. While Wilder knows the risks in letting himself be vulnerable again, he can't deny wanting Luca. Because after all, isn't moving on and embracing who you are nothing more than a state of mind?
