Summary:
Former model turned actor Adrian Lee can barely list age range ’23-29′ on his resumé anymore nor stand his life of empty social events and appearances, meaningless roles and casual partners. When he meets Alexander Skizetsky by clever arrangement of his agent, the enigmatic yet infinitely attractive Russian kindles a little light of hope in his aching heart. Yet even the beginnings of a friendship and love beyond his wildest dreams cannot stop a life spiraling out of control.
The long estrangement from his devout Irish Catholic parents and family, and the dark secrets they all share combine to drive him to the brink of despair, though Alexander becomes determined to stay by his side. After locking away his own memories of betrayal and loss, “Lexx” had decided never to love again but something in Adrian spurs the noblest intentions in his formerly jaded heart. Returning in pilgrimage to his homeland, on a journey of rebirth, revelation and redemption, can they escape the ghosts of their pasts to find true love together?

SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB:
