Deacon and Julian have tolerated each other because of Rhett, Deacon's brother and Julian's boyfriend. When Rhett passes away, it breaks everyone. One year later, Deacon returns to Montana for the anniversary of Rhett's death and when he and Julian start spending time together, things between them change.
"I'm not attracted to men," I say boldly. "I'm only attracted to you."
Deacon and Julian's story is emotional and pulls at all your heartstrings. After reading Ache, I had to go back and read/listen to Without You.
