**This is a follow-up to Cover Story, and while it can be read as a standalone, it's recommended to read the original first as this novella doesn't go into detail about characters' jobs, personalities, and backgrounds.
Nobody said happily ever after would be easy.
Life has been good for Dax Ximénez and AJ Bond. Dax's TV show, Mexican't, just wrapped filming season two, and even bigger roles are coming in. It's been hard with AJ traveling around the world covering fashion weeks for TMG, though. When Mateo, the brother Dax hasn't seen in twenty years, unexpectedly shows up, it throws Dax's emotions into chaos. He longs for AJ's stability to help keep his anxiety in check, but family has always been a sore spot for AJ. As they work through two decades of hurt, they'll have to redefine what family means to them and figure out what it takes to build a home, and a life, together.
