Like Salt and Whisky

When Miles arrives in Edinburgh for his first holiday in years, the last thing he expects is to run into his long lost childhood friend Aileena. Ten years ago, he fled the UK to settle in France, running from his homophobic father and his family’s toxic wealth, cutting off all ties with his previous life in the process. Including Aileena. 

Hiding his wounds behind a layer of make-up and sass, Miles gets caught between the nostalgia of their teenage years and Aileena’s beauty, and falls in love with her all over again. Between the hurdles of a long-distance relationship and Aileena’s struggles with her transition, they have much to overcome.

 This time, if Miles doesn’t want to break both their hearts, he might have to open up and show his true self.

 Easier said than done.
