Calum Hardy’s life has unravelled. Reeling from the betrayal of a man he once loved, he boards a train heading south, with no real idea where he’s going except a world away from London.
Brix Lusmoore can hardly believe his eyes when he spots one of his oldest friends outside Truro station. He hasn’t seen Calum since he fled the capital himself four years ago, harbouring a life-changing secret. But despite the years of silence, their old bond remains, warm and true—and layered with simmering heat they’ve never forgotten.
Calum takes refuge with Brix and a job at his Porthkennack tattoo shop. Bit by bit, he rebuilds his life, but both men carry the ghosts of the past, and it will take more than a rekindled friendship and the magic of the Cornish coast to chase them away.

The Bad:
The book ended.
The Good:
Porthennack is whack. Seriously, this is one messed up town and I totally want to go there. The people are just... crazy, in all the best ways. Brix's family. Oh my god. Just. Yeah, hilarious. Brix himself is awesome. He's sensitive, intelligent, funny... He rescues chickens and protects his crazy criminal relatives, and takes in broken friends. Which is fitting because Brix's pretty broken himself.
Calum is definitely lost and broken and escaping a terrible relationship. Once he starts getting back to himself he's also sweet and funny. He finds himself falling for Brix, but Brix keeps a distance between them and he doesn't trust himself anyway.
When these two finally take the leap to be together it's beautiful They find love and hope for the future neither really thought was possible. House of Cards is my first Garrett Leigh book, but it definitely won't be my last.
